Does your baby still startle?

My baby startles pretty easily to sound/sudden noises. He is 3 months old so not sure if this is something he will outgrow. He also does this quite a bit when he's sleeping even though we swaddle him tightly. Oftentimes, it causes him to wake from nap or if he's sleeping he will start to squirm/wiggle and then he wakes. Not sure if there is something I can do to prevent him from startling so easy or waking because of it. Thanks.
