Hello Dear people!

Well I hear these repetitive sounds (part of melodies, sirens, particular noises, etc) in particular environments.

For example, while driving, I hear this hummm noise playing over and over. I think it is a patron as a result of the sound from the tires, wind, engine, road, etc.

But if I cover my ears, I do not hear it. I only hear my Ts. If I am in a silent room, most of the times I do not hear it. Others, the less, I hear it ( as some kind of obsessive thought). But the sound is not inside my head or mind. Am I clear?

I had ear worm in the past. Sometimes, bells of a church near my home get stucked in my mind for a while. Car alarms, sirens, etc

Anyone has experienced this?
Any help or advice, please ?
God bless you all.
 
I know what you are taking about! It was way late at night. I was sewing away. I hear the ice cream truck. What? It's 1:00 am! Can't be! I stopped. I listened. I almost looked outside, maybe I did look. I don't remember. Long time ago... Other times I have heard other sounds, singing and whatever. I know it's not really there. Really. Who would be trying to sell ice cream after midnight?

I saw a website that has a survey for gathering information on that phenomena. Not a lot known about it last time I looked. Sometimes, I think it's a combination of sounds in the environment that is interpreted by our brain to be something meaningful to us, like music. Other times, well, I don't know...
 
Exactly. I know what you mean. But this weird thing happens to me very often.
It is a mix between OCD, GAD, MES, HALLU....
hahaha
I am falling to pieces
 
@Fernando81 how are you getting on with this? I am experiencing much the same. Can be anything from bird chirping to a helicopter sound to faint voices that I cant really make out.

Worried I am going crazy!
 
Anyone? I am finding this very frightening. Worried it is a side effect of wearing plugs pretty much all the time.

Have I given myself musical ear syndrome?
 
I have had this for a few months now. The MES that is. Tinnitus has been a long long ride. i'm on anti-psychotics and benzo's. Nether help with the music or tinnitus but i definitely don't think about it as much.
