During a sleep paralysis, you hear a weird sound. Why do you hear this noise?
During a sleep paralysis, many people hear a very weird noise, like a bell ringing or sometimes you just hear a beeping sound. Only the person who experience a sleep paralysis can hear this sound, and people around you can not catch this sound. My question is: Why do you hear this sound? I know that your brain sends that kind of sound, but why? Just because to make us afraid or what? I need a good answer, thanks!
When i tap my head i get a weird vibrating sound in my ear?

Weird feeling and sound in the back of my neck when hungry...?
I too have been getting the same weird - rushing water/rain stick/crackling/ noise and feeling in the back of my neck. I just this morning noticed that it usually happens in the morning time when I am hungry. Like you said it doesnt hurt it just feels weird and annoys me. I have also noticed that I get a little bit of an uneasy feeling in my stomache as well when this happens. Not quite a wave of nausea but, more an uneasyness that makes me feel a little sick to my stomach. As the noise fades so does the feeling. I used to get it every so often but, now I notice it most mornings at work. This morning it was the worst it has ever been it lasted for almost a minute reocurring several times before finaly subsiding. This time it realy made me sick to my stomache. I have noticed that many people suffer from this and as you said no-one knows what it is!! Strange for all of us to feel this and it not be explained. Im hoping to find out what this is to ease my mind!!! I also wanted to point something out that may or may not be directly related... a couple of years ago soda started tasting like metal to me...Coke and pepsi in particular...i can still drink Dr. Pepper. Also, I have had horrible pressure and pain in my head at times from laughing too hard, getting up quickly or overexurtion. its not all the time but, it does happen. Not sure if either are related. Ill keep on the lookout as well and update back if I find anything. So far this is all I have found of intetest. http://www.sleepguide.com/forum/topics/new-information-about http://www.steadyhealth.com/Strange__crackling__sounds_sensation_at_the_base_o_t199149.html ***Im not sure if this has anything to do with it.....but, I am really digging and keep finding information that leads me back to this condition called Chiari Malformation...Its a malformation in the brain which causes rushes of spinal fluid at the base of the neck and can be associated with severe pressure headaches and nausea. Its worth it to check it out!!***** http://www.ninds.nih.gov/disorders/chiari/detail_chiari.htm http://forums.webmd.com/3/migraines-and-headaches-exchange/forum/865
What is this whooshing sound in my head and hearing my heartbeat?
I am 52. I am in menopause. I found out during an MRI with contrast for something else that they found a 3-4 mm bulge on the internal carotid artery high up in the cavernous sinus which is deep behind the eys and just below the base of the skull and indicates Ive had two mini strokes. I was also diagnosed with microvascular disease. This is common to have vascular changes in the brain due to lack of hormones in menopause. Estrogen keeps your veins and arteries flexible and pliable. Without it your arteries arent as flexible. In menopause your risk for cardiovascular disease increases as well. My primary doctor put me on a full strength Bayer Aspirin to thin my blood. I go to see a neurovascular surgeon in early February to have him look at my MRI and maybe do a CT angiogram to make sure my internal carotid artery has not thinned and could burst. But I have been hearing "whooshing" sounds like Im hearing my blood flow and also hearing my heartbeat in my head. Is this indicative of Carotid Artery Disease? I have heard the term "bruit" used for the reason for the "whooshing" and wondering if I should have a Carotid Artery Ultrasound? I did a search on the internet and it said that it could be "turbulent blood flow" due to a partially blocked carotid artery in the neck and that having a doctor put a stethescope to your carotid in the neck should enable them to hear the "whooshing" or "bruit" as it called. Sometimes it cant be heard due to the existence of too much blockage or not heard because of minor blockage. I guess the only thing to do is a cartoid ultrasound to rule it out.
How can I train my brain to hear no noise at night because all I can hear is this weird ringing noise?
Ringing in your ears at night is actually normal and does not need treatment, unless of course it is very loud and persists for many hours.The ringing you hear is very natural, and is actually called white noise. It's usually a ringing or static in your eardrums created by your brain, because it is used to sound waves simulating your eardrums all day, it requires a minuscule noise to get used to the silence. Listening to music before you sleep might help.
Is it normal for my brain to make cracking sounds?
Is it normal for my brain to make cracking sounds?There might not be enough information here for me to give a useful answer, but I’ll tell you what I can.But first I will stress this: If this is something that is worrying you in a health sense, then please seek professional medical advice.Assuming it’s not, and you’re asking out of curiosity, I’ll offer the following:It’s hard to know what you mean by ‘cracking’ sounds. Are they little random clicks and pops, or louder more physical sounds? Are they frequent, or just every now and then? I sometimes experience a phenomenon where I get a little ‘click’ which is accompanied by slight ringing tone and a sudden clarity of the high frequencies. I’ve had it since I was a kid. I also hear little ‘sparkling’ sounds from time to time, and very occasionally (once or twice in my life), shimmering sounds like distant cicadas. These are all pretty normal as far as I have enquired.Are you sure these sounds are from your ‘brain’ and not from your neck, or from your skull? Sometimes such sounds can be transmitted via bone conduction in such a way that you might ‘hear’ them. So, for example, if you move your neck and hear the sounds, it could just be conducted sound from your vertebrae. If you feel that it is a ‘brain’ sound, and not associated with physical movement (ie, you hear it even if you’re lying completely still), then there are phenomena that the brain experiences along these lines. It could be anything from misfiring auditory neurons (which is one of the things thought to cause tinnitus) to a more complex auditory hallucination.The brain can, and does, do weird things, and small auditory hallucinations like tones, or ringing or crackling are not uncommon. But as I said above, if it is having a negative effect on your state of mind or your health, go see a doctor.Oh, and if it is making cracking sounds loud enough for other people to hear, then definitely go see your doctor… :)
Why do I hear sounds like crystals shattering or sand grinding in my head when I move my head/neck side to side?
It has also been described as sand grinding between bones.If you are fairly young , and don't have a history of bone , or disc disease , it can be the result of loss of your normal alignment of your Cervical spine , especially after a Whiplash type accident , long term sleeping on your stomach , or two pillows , hours of looking down at your work everyday , or a habitual 16 hour combination of work , and sleeping in a fetal position for several years.A side Xray view of your Cervical (neck ) will show a loss of natural curvature , aka “ Military Neck “ That looks similar to this [ | ] , this [ /] , instead of this [ ) ]Certain Doctors of Chiropractic use a technique , with a drop forward, and down headpiece , at C-5 to gradually RE-SELLERS introduce the natural curve back into the neck.Personally , I have seen it happen as quickly as 3 weeks , and as slowly as 2 years , with documented progress on Xray views .Grinding symptoms usually disappear in 4–8 weeks after initiating treatment.
The sound of velcro makes my head tickle?
Does it feel good or doesn't it? Sometimes certain sounds make my head tickle, too. Sometimes it's the sound of somebody's voice, or a very nice guitar being strummed, or the sound of water drops. If I close my eyes, I really enjoy it! It's like a "natural high". I describe it like something tickling my hearing senses! Is this what you're saying? If it's irritating, it's not as fun ): But still, it sounds normal to me. Nails on a chalkboard is a sound that very commonly causes strange reactions in a persons brain. I'd describe it like a tickle, but a painful one. Either way, you're fine.
