I'd like to second anyone that mentioned hypnagogia. I too suffer from this occasionally. It usually consists of a period between wake and sleep where I get a string of incomplete ideas, and I'll get zapped back to being fully awake, like I got a shock or jerked back awake. Sometimes I'll hear bells or buzzers, or even children or munchkin laughing, but it's really a short, percussive sound. (There's a being word to describe it, but I can't think of it.)
