I hear train sounds at night occationally and there are no trains around in my area....?
Well, we could jump to the conclusion that it's *drum roll* a ghost train, but reality check time.. Train whistles travel pretty damn far so isn't unlikely there are some train tracks within a distance from your house that you can hear them. However, do you hear these sounds at the same time each time you hear them, or at very different times (ya know like one night 1:00AM the next night 11:00PM) If you hear them at the same time then I would have to say it is that there are train tracks within a distance that you can here, because trains have a schedule. But if you are hearing them at very different times then it is entirely possible it's paranormal. All in all, it's unlikely that these sounds are paranormal but it is possible. I wouldn't be worried at all.
What are the noises that you hear at night?
A low level but high pitched whining noise (if your room is very quiet) might be your nervous system. A repetitive thump is likely your circulatory system. A whine that gets louder when you approach it might be an electrical dimmer or power supply. If you’re near high voltage power lines in a quiet area you can usually hear the whine of the electricity in the wires.It really scared me one time years ago when I pulled off a remote road near Yosemite to look at the stars. It was VERY dark and VERY quiet. I kept hearing crackling and snapping and whining noises in a clearing that was in the middle of lightless forest. I wanted to stay dark adapted so didn’t use any light and was basically stumbling around in the dark. I finally caved in and got out a big flashlight and eventually discovered that the sounds were coming from about fifty feet overhead, where HV power lines happened to go right over where I was standing. PS, I DID see some satellites going over, and even some shooting stars, as well as the Milky Way in all its splendor. Sometimes very dark is nice (when it’s not making noises you can’t locate).Rumbling noises could also be borborygmus (I love that word) Stomach rumble, basically the movement of stuff around in your intestinal system. You probably know the sound of flatulence, but that can vary widely and is best fully exhibited in solitude. Many people can hear the air movement through their throats and lungs, especially if they have a wheeze.And let’s not forget the multitude of natural sounds, from insects to rodents and birds and wind passing through the trees or tall grass, or distant thunderstorms, or a nearby beach with its endless flow of waves.Oh, one more common noise source: your house (and car) heat up and cool down in ways that cause various parts to creak and ping and squeak as different parts expand and contract a little differently.And let’s not forget about ghosts. Actually, let’s forget about them. They’re not making any noise. That’s just repressed flatulence.

Why do I hear an ocean sound in my ear?
"Sounds" like (lol) water in the ear - that some got caught behind the ear drum... if it persists, see a physician - he may be able to treat it in the office, or he may prefer to refer you to an ear-nose-and-throat doc to treat you.Swelling / inflammation of surrounding tissues in the smooth muscles or glands near the neck may also influence your having this sound. For me, I get that when there's water in my ears and it usually goes away within a couple days.
Does sound travel better at night than in the daytime?
I would think at night since there are less obstacles in its path
Is it true that sound travels further at night then during the day?
These people are idiots. The answer to your question is "yes" under certain conditions, because of the temperature inversion that occurs near the ground at night. -------------------------------------- Suppose you are camping on the shore of a lake which is not too wide, maybe 1/2 a mile across or so. During the day you can see campers on the other side of the lake, but you cannot hear them. At night, however, you can not only see the campers on the other side of the lake but you can also hear their conversations as they sit around their camp fire. This phenomena is due to the refraction of sound waves....
What sounds do you hear outside your window as you go to sleep every night?
I'm in a coastal suburb, and it's between midnight and 2am. I hear wind rustling leaves in the trees, my cats, occasionally fending off intruders, occasionally random noises like large plastic garbage bins, rolling around on plastic wheels. The occasional car passes by, and sometimes, a bird chirps its heart out all night (er… morning?), starting at 3am. Goodnight!
I 'hear' a buzzing sound in my home like I am near a high voltage transformer. The sound is louder at night. What could it be?
This is Tinnitus. Full blown tinnitus is a problem, and is associated with hearing loss. But you're describing a very mild form that a large percentage of the population has (scientific studies aren't conclusive, reporting anywhere between 10% and 35% of the population). It's a high pitched buzz that seems to be on the threshold of hearing that you can only hear when it is very quiet (e.g. at night). It's not a real sound that you're hearing.I have it, and only ever notice it very occasionally when it's quiet. I don't have impaired hearing (that I know of, it's hard to be objective). If you have it at a level that bothers you and causes stress, then you could consider consulting a doctor if you're seeking relief from it.See this page: What is tinnitus? If the noises seem louder at quiet times, particularly during the night, it may help to have soothing music or some other environmental or natural sound quietly on in the background.Or this page: TinnitusWhy is my tinnitus worse at night?During the day, the distractions of activities and the sounds around you make your tinnitus less noticeable. When your surroundings are quiet, your tinnitus can seem louder and more bothersome. Fatigue and stress may also make your tinnitus worse. There are whole groups set up relating to Tinnitus, such as the ATA (this docuent is an interesting read: Page on ata.org but note that it's writen to address tinnitus across all severity, so do remember that if you only occasionally hear it at night, you, like me, and like a large proportion of the population, have mild Tinnitus). Personally, I'm not bothered by my mild Tinnitus, it does not affect my life, and sometimes I just lie down and listen to it as I drift off to sleep. I have no intention of doing anything about it or joining and organization. But I do get VERY annoyed when people who don't have a clue about what Tinnitus is try to explain it away as sounds from the atmosphere, or mains power, or nonsense like that (i.e. two of the three other answers on this page, with the only answer citing tinnitus having been voted down). I'm an electrical engineer, I know what 50/60Hz hum sounds like, I know what switching power supplies sound like. This is nothing like any of those, and I can walk out into the middle of the desert, or go underwater, or inside a cave and still hear it.
