Afraid of the vacuum?

Mr

Is anyone else’s 18 month old absolutely terrified of the vacuum? My son breaks out in tears every time I take it out of the closet and continues the whole time I’m using it. I’ve tried putting him in a different room and shutting the door to lessen the noise, or letting him walk around with me while I use it so that he can see that it’s nothing to be scared of. I’ve left him in one room with the tv on his favorite show while I vacuum the other rooms, and I’ve tried to do it while he’s down for a nap. Nothing works, all he does is bawl his eyes out. Any ideas?
