I've had the same problems. I've found it mostly to be due to anxiety and agitation.....it can even lead to migraines. Adding an anxiolytic like Klonopin helped for me.

I do get them, but I've noticed I seem to have this sensitivity all the time, even without the migrane. This seemed greatly magnified with pregnancy (years ago), which I think is common, but it seems to have resurfaced with my being perimenopausal. I do get very agitated with it.

For me, ssri's or zyprexa or xanax or klonopin reduce sensitivity to light and noise. Zyprexa worked the best, but I never knew it until I was off of it.
But there is a natural substance that works well. The amino acid taurine. You could try it real cheap. Try 250mg, a few hours later try another 250mg, and feel it out from there.
Magnesium can also reduce the threshold for input sensitivity. Magnesium glycinate is a popular one for that.
Light and sound sensitivity can be a chemical imbalance where glutamate is too high compared to other neuros. Either raise the other neuros with an ssri, or dampen down the glutamate with one of the suggestions listed above.
