Fear of battery operates stuffed animals

Is my toddler the only one who fears certain stuffed animals that sing and dance or loud games?

Was going to put this in the children with special needs board since DS has some expressive delays and sensory issues, but I figured I'd post on parenting.
Started with a singing and dancing bear. Now most stuffed animals that are loud he doesn't like and asks to put it away. He understands they're not real too, but doesn't like unpredictable things.

He's going to the ESY program at school and his teacher mentioned that another boy brought in a dog he he got scared and asked to put it away.

my dd#1 was insanely afraid of motorized stuffed animals.....she will be 4 next month and she still has caution with them but can actually play with them for a bit but every so often she will get her fill of them and ask to turn them off....but overall she is muchhhhh better with them

Kieran was like that! He still is, to a degree, but it's not as bad as it used to be. He used to make us hide any stuffed animal that moved or made noise and he would freak out if it came near him. Now, he gets nervous when he sees one for the first time, and will usually hold on to me or whoever he is with. But it's like he tries to make himself get over it. He'll ask me to do it over and over, and eventually he gets used to it.

Mason hates them- even ones of characters he otherwise loves.
