I swear I hear random noises

[reivaj]

When listening to music sometimes I hear like random knocks(of cours probably in the music I just never really pay attention to those sounds or it comes across differently) or even just possibly just like something random that makes me twitch or look around to where the sound was supposedly heard and see nothing. Does this ever happen to you guys? You know the whole I THOUGHT I heard something sort of feeling but its usually nothing.

Yeah... I hate that. Its really bad on live recordings with my RS1 and MDR-EX90, where you hear voices and stuff off in the distance.

*edit*
I guess its a good thing, your headphones are revealing a very high level of detail and accurately thrusting those sounds far off into the distance.

What do you listen to?

I'm pretty sure you're just crazy

I hear things like that also. I listen to my music and think i hear my phone, knocks on doors, and creeks and other sounds that make me look around like there is someone or something there.

Live jazz music does that... also when I'm watching movies.

Veeeery often

This happens to me as well. Though the odd thing is a lot of the time, if not most of the time, I just have my cans sitting on m head not playing anything.

Do you have a Shuffle by any chance? They are notorious for adding random noises to vbr mp3s.

This is called acúfenos in spanish, do not know the medical term in english (acuphens?). It is related to tinnitus. They are strange noises that your brain can interpret like common noises (buzzing, whistling, bells, telephone ringing, crickets, birds singing, doors slamming, etc). You should visit a doctor if this phenomenon is constant, very frequent and of high volume, enough to disturb you. Somebody said to me that it has been calculated that 25% of population suffer this problem to some extent. It can be caused by an illness or even stress. If you only hear these noises sometimes when you are listening music, I think is normal. I hear phones ringing with certain music. Our ears/brains are not perfect

OMG! I though I was the only one so I never posted for fear of being thought as nuts, but the EXACT same things happen with me

x2, i was listening to some of my fav Miles davis and noticed in the background i could hear people talking...kinda like they were standing next to him when he was playing, when he paused for a sec or for a bass line, i could hear it whispers....and i swore someone cracked open a beer/soda =)

interesting... i also sometimes hear a phone or something but its usually in the same place in certain songs... maybe its a series of frequencies thats similar to my phone and my brain is so trained to be like "holy crap, phone ringing gogogogogogo" thats its too sensitive too it...

and all this time i thought i was just loosing it...

ok, ok, i know im loosing it

and if its stress related then thats probably why i have it (that and thining hair at 21

)
