I think he was, to some extent, bothered by outside sounds and other distractions, but he also used a lot of excuses to try getting leverage over his competition.
For example, Spassky lost his first game to Fischer when the organizers agreed to Fischer's demand to play off-stage, in a back room. It upset Spassky psychologically and he was unable to recover for the rest of the match.

Fischer is/was (same difference) a racist and lied about the value of Bishops. Turn on the afterburners and forget he existed.

He was annoyed by everything. If he were around today and on this site there'd be some lively threads and block parties galore.
