Thank you TW. The nosies thing has happened before, but it's affecting me a lot more now because I'm pretty sure it's all in my head

The real problem is that one can't just assume that 'its all in my head' cos when you do that - its real. Heightened alertness is a known side effect of trauma - and I consider the ex-housemate as trauma on legs. Be gentle with yourself - the hyperalertness will dissipate over time. Sucks to go through it though.
