Worried about babies hearing

So I'm fairly sure I'm being paranoid here but here goes.

So a while back I took my young stepson out for the day to a local outdoor fayre/ festival and there were bands playing which he was very excited about watching. What I didn't realise was just how loud it would be! I was about 22/23 weeks pregnant at the time and ever since I've had a niggling worry about how it could have affected my baby's hearing.

He moves around loads, but it never seems to be as a reaction to sound/ voices etc. but I don't know if this is normal.

Today, 30 weeks pregnant and my usually very active bundle of joy didn't even seem to notice when my works fire alarm went off!!!! (It was bloody loud) He's happily squirming about in general so I'm not worried there, but should he not have jumped a little at such an intrusive and sudden noise?! Maybe he's just super chilled out!!!

Can one noisy gig have been that damaging or am I being a crazy overthinker?
