Insight while meditating about feelings

[Mikey]

I was disturbed while meditating, hearing sounds of birds chirping, the buzzing of a saw being used next door to me, and kids stomping around upstairs. But then I had this insight, and it came from a book I was reading earlier about the brain and overeating. It said something about whenever the brain had a list of ideas to choose from, whichever idea was most apparent, it was the one sent to the part of the brain called the striatum, where it would ultimately be used to send signals to the body (feelings) such as hunger as a form of "expression." This made me think, that the idea of noise disturbances while meditating making me mad and causing me to have angry thoughts, that it was not just a feeling of discomfort, but an expression of discomfort. And I sort of detached from this self, the "me" who was angry, and was able to see that these were just sounds. They weren't actually harming me in any way. 

I haven't given it much thought, but I was wondering if this is what some people do while meditating, or if it's unhealthy and sort of "disassociating".
