Scares the shit out of me every time too. I often have the garage door closed due to weather or to limit noise and it’s like a gun going off in an enclosed space.
I use hearing protection. It's a lot louder and more sudden than a power tool, especially when amplified in a small enclosed space. If I were on a shooting range it'd be no big deal, but not unexpectedly in my garage.
It works by detecting changes in capacitance so yes some treated wood and wet wood can set it off.
