whenever my headphones are off, and hanging off a little plastic hook i have on the side of my desk, i sometimes hear very faint music in the general direction, typically sounds like really fast snare drumlines in techno. or bass. but they are producing NO sound what so ever.
no, i dont listen at loud volumes and im not hearing high pitched noises.
it just sounds like they are on the rack playing music when winamp isnt even open. but they arent.

Jessi, stop listening to music before going to sleep, please. My brother used to have music playing even while he was asleep. It used to drive me nuts. His nerves were always strung tight because of the constant music playing in his head, even where there was no music emenating from anywhere.

You are definitely listening to too much music. You are leaving no room for thinking. Your cans are now a drug; you're now a certifiable headphone junkie. (Sush, I think there's a lot of them here. They're everywhere. They're all around me. They're closing in on me. They're getting closer. Closer... They're coming for you Jessica. 'Stop it, Johnny. Stop it.' There's one of them now! Run Jessi, Run! 'HELP me Johnny, HELP!') <thud><fade to black silence>

This exact same thing happened to me, except I kept hearing footsteps or a door opening. Very weird. My computer room door used to make a very distinct squeak and I always feared it because I'd always hear it right before my mom catches me playing games really late on a school night.

Hell tinnitus can manafest itself in the form of music( i just did a fairly big project on it over the weekend), but i doubt that's what you're hearing. I think you're either going insane, or something in your room is picking up radio frequencies

Sounds like you are picking up radio interference from a radio station. It happens quite often with unshielded stereo equipment.

My computer speakers will play certain radio stations if the wiring and speakers are oriented in the correction position.

My interconnects I use between my pcdp and CHA47 amp can pick up radio interference once in a while. I can hear when I plug in my headphones.

When I had braces, I sometimes get a strange sensation in my skull and I can hear AM radio stations or low frequency broadcasts.

Apologies for the serious interjection here...

There *is* an acoustic, er, analog, to visual afterimages.

Fun experiment: listen to a test pattern right in the center of the ears peak sensitivity, around 2-3 kHz, with high peak to average amplitude. A gated sine pulse train, say 8 on, 56 off, or something like that. Used to be done in, gasp, *hardware*, would be a piece of cake for a codemeister with a soundcard. Lowish SPLs, like 70dB for a couple of minutes. Then, turn off the pulse train, and listen to some pink noise, and you will hear the "inverse" of the pulse train. Trippy.

I think he siad you might not be insane. It may simply be your ears/brain [playing tricks on you and you are hearing the invers of some of your music after it's been tirned off. I've experienced the same thing, but not often, and not by any cause i can pinpoint, but sometimes I'm sure i'm hearing something that isn't there. again, not often. BTW, my old compter speakers picked up 88.5 FM really clearly if I simply crnaked up the volume. I live on a hill, and I can see one of the transmitters from my window, at the top of the next hill a few miles off. (I live in the country, I hate cities.)
