I think is a natural thing, his personality.. and is normal as long as it doesnt put him into danger (I dont think this is the case). I had all sort of different personalities in this little ones.. brave one, shy one, outgoing, but never a too scared one. Did you try to introduce the thing he fears to him in a different way?.. slowly you can show him something he fears when you are playing with him... or make the noise he doesnt like it and give him a treat. (it looks like he is scared mostly of strange and sudden noises.) maybe it helps.. just a thought anyway..
