I don't know about 'literally shaking' (depends if you mean 'literally literally' or 'figuratively literally' haha). But loud shrill sounds do come with their own unique quality - a sort of pressing/shrinking sensation that leaves a sort of echo even after the sound stops.
It's tough to know with these sort of things - nobody of any neurotype likes loud annoying noises. But without access to their experience, how can you know if you dislike it in the same way?
Oh yeah, it's literally literal brain-shaking.
I don't think there is a definite way. Aside from some fantastic technology or intricate psychological setups, I think the best we can do is compare reactions to stimuli and then talk about differences.
