That is probably a little obsessive but without other info or obsessive traits I doubt it would be considered actual OCD. We all have obsessive traits but to have OCD you have to have several and they usually are to the point they are getting in the way of living your life.

Perhaps your mind is thirsting for auditory as well as tactile stimulation while you are running the bath water while in the bath? Or are you some how punishing yourself, being sadistic with the hot water on your body as you take a bath, and sitting there exposed and naive to the rush of the water and the heat, and perhaps pain? This pain may be subconsciously a way for you to come out of a numb or altered state of mind. like mental first aid for someone badly disassociating from mind body detatchment....This happens, esp after loss or trauma. Have you experienced any trauma to lead you to do this behavior?
