Brief Answer:
It's a normal behaviour

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Welcome to HCM.
I have read your question in detail and I know that you are very concerned about your child but don't worry about it.
Getting scared of drill voice or loud voice is normal at 11 months of age and this is seen in almost all children of similar age.
This may persist till 2 year of age or may be longer in some children. It stops gradually when children begins to understand about the nature of sound like whether a sound is harmful for them or not. .
This is a protective phenomenon created by god so that child can get help from nearby people when he cries or screams in this type of similar situations.
If your child is gaining weight properly and has achieved milestones according to age then we don't have to worry about it.
I hope this will help you.
Wishing your child good health.
Take care.
