Do you ever mistake noises for voices?

Post Reply New Topic

Sometimes I hear a noise and I mistake it for a voice. My name is Kai, rhymes with pie, so if someone says hi I think they said my name or if I hear a window creaking I sometimes get that confused with my name. 0.o

Yes.

Yes, I hear voices and sometimes music in white noise. It's like your brain wants to make randomness into a recognizable pattern.

I remember one time when I was 4, I was upstairs in my house and I heard some sort of demonic hissing noise and I was scared like crazy. I also sometimes hear voices in white noise.

Voices, music, even what sounds like radio broadcasts. I also occasionally hear my name when no one has said it. It last happened yesterday in a grocery store.

Sort of similarly, I sometimes see images in random patterns. Like my monitor has some dust/whatever on it, and I occasionally see it as something (reminder: wipe that off). I used to get mesmerized by my curtains when I was in my early teens because I'd see things (pictures, objects, once an entire scene) in it. Like the image would be there and then dissolve and I could see how the pattern matched the image.

in the insistent whirring din of my noisy old 'puter power supply, i can sometimes hear the music of the spheres.

to me, a lot of words sound similar especially with my name and sometimes I get confused when someone says something and I couldn't understand what they said.

I sort of have this, but more that I slur what I hear and make noises and voices out of anything. I’m almost always asking “what?” whenever people talk to me because I tend to hear things all as one word, or rather, I focus on the sound and tone changes in their voice so I hear what they say like a piece of music for example. But on the other hand, if I hear a sound I’ll mistake it for a voice (I almost always hear my mom calling my name when I’m listening to music, even though I don’t live with her) or other sounds that have no pattern in them, I’ll try to make something out of it. The worst is when a random sound turns into a musical note and then gets a song stuck in my head for hours.

I experienced a short period of time, years ago, when I would hear my name and I, too, hear music in "white" noise.

I also have a sort of hissing/ringing. I'm pretty sure it's always there because I can hear it whenever I want but I never thought it was anything bad. I find it kind of comforting. It only now occurs to me that I've never heard music in that particular "white" noise, which is interesting. Listening now, I can perceive a harmony of many different "notes" but it's just a constant, continuous sound. I used to think it was like one constant note, but upon further examination, I believe it would be more accurate to call it a "Chord"...yep, I'd call it a chord. Currently, B...I think...or maybe F. Hmm...interesting.

Often.

Yeah.
