My 7 week old greys freak out for any lil noise,, is this normal?

Hi guys, my 2 babies (Theo and Aly) are 7 weeks old now, Ive had them since they were roughly 2 weeks old. They are healthy lil nutbags, but I have been noticing that with every lil noise,, whether it be my phone ringing, or closing a door, they tend do freak out a lil. Which kinda sucks when I have them on me ,cuz they run and try to get under my shirt and whoa do they scratch me when they have their freakout! Lol,, I just wanted to know if this is their natural response to noises, or are they "skiddish" as my partner claims theyre becoming. Anything is appreciated ,,Thanks guys

I'm new to squirrels but it's probably normal. Some of mine are that way too and about the same age. They are naturally prey animals and when something odd happens it's the flight response. Must Hide in Moms or dads shirt.
