I'd like to be able to play an instrument. I've never tried.

I've been considering buying a saxophone and trying to copy what I can hear in my head. I like the sax days the most :D

Peace ellomo


I've tried the piano before. When I could get my fingers to cooperate, I was pretty good. It was rare, though.

Wind instruments fascinate me but I could never quite get the breathing right. If you don't breathe right, you get winded fairly fast.

Yeah, I get this too. Mostly from engines or constant sounds. I used to get it in the subway in New York as the trains went by. Sometimes, with droning engines, it sounds like the music is just behind the drone. So I'll listen to it very closely. It's always quite beautiful.

Sometimes after I play a song on my computer through my headphones I hear a high pitched noise.

Some of the industrial and dark ambient music I listen to has this quality to it. Behind all this brooding noise there's this beautiful melody, just barely there in the background. Sometimes the shifts in tone are so subtle / gradual that your imagination can almost play with it and hear different things.

I also can get this kind of effect if I listen to far away music. I can imagine something else adding to the sound.

I am often still up at two or three o'clock in the morning. At that time, when everything else is very quiet, I hear classical music & have never been able to work out where it comes from. I have thought it must come from someone else in the neighbourhood but if I walk outside to investigate that doesn't seem to be the case. At times I feel as though I'm losing my mind.

I often get music lodged in my head, or if I have been around a certain person a lot I get their voice lodged in my head too. If I have done a lot of a certain activity which produces a specific sound then that will get stuck in my head too.

This morning I got the Doo Ron Ron song in my head. I have no idea when I heard this last :)

I wanted to ask if anyone else gets this: if I lay in bed before going to sleep, and if I am relaxed and there are no other stimuli, I can experiment with sound by repeating a single sound in my head forming a rhythm. I can then add other repeating sounds to that, so that they fit into that same rhythm, gradually building it up into music. I reckon a lot of the sounds are fragments of sounds that I have heard before, sometimes it can be a single fragment of a sentence that someone has said, which I can then turn into a sound.

Sometimes it happens spontaneously (this used to happen a lot when I was a kid) or I can have a measure of control over it. It is very emotional and I am usually exhausted by the time it finishes.

Anyone else get that?

i sometimes hear "music" as well f.ex. from engines, hoovers etc., but i have to be relaxed or not really listening to it, the music kind of emerges from the original noise and detaches itself from it, do i make sense, :? .

i wonder whether it has to do with overtones:

here is an interesting demonstration, bear with it until he starts to sing, it's in german, but the english subtitles are of good quality.

I've always heard music in exhaust fans, air conditioners, etc. Assumed it was normal rather than autism-spectrum stuff, but maybe it isn't. Hmmm...


Cheers,

I have episodes, where I hear music that isn't there. It could be in the middle of the night, or when I'm in a mellow mood, as I walk somewhere.

I get songs stuck in my head frequently, which I think it pretty typical. Since I was young there have been several times when I heard clear, loud music that was not there. I badly wish that I could turn it on whenever I want.

Yes. Whenever I hear this large fan I start to hear a song from a game. And sometimes when I think about a song when I'm trying to fall asleep I can sometimes hear it a little.
