I have for as long as I can remember, an elusive ever present high pitch that plays in my head.  It's actually hard to locate. It's in both ears, yet not in my ears.

I have found its pitch best I can on the piano at E.   bing..  
The second one above middle C.It's not singular but in harmonies of itself.  Like a chorus of crickets at a far distance.

Tinnitus can drive people crazy but I love this companion.  If it ever stopped, I'd feel disappointed. 

It's hard to describe. its close yet far, It's sweet, and reminds me of taking your fingernail and striking a nice thin wine glass gently just so it pings.

It's never not there. I concentrate on it mainly at night while ready to sleep. It gently wavers as if a bedsheet on a clothesline on a breezy day

ok a little crazy, but does anyone have something similar?

Hi Doug,

As I am reading this I am listening to my own high pitched "signal". I would say mine is far higher in frequency than any note on the piano. I don't notice it most of the time, but it is definitely there when I focus on it.

I would say the source of the sound appears to be either in the middle of my brain (like stereo headphones position the music there) or maybe even slightly above the middle of my head :)

Yes! I have always had the same, Doug.
I always considered it a comfort too.
Another thing I have noticed that the intensity can increase at times, and I've always understood this as a message to pause and "pay attention," and that has served me well over the years.

I have something like this too, I know nothing of music so I can't comment on the note.

It's not constant, it comes & goes, there seems to be no physical source or cause.

I've always taken it to be a sign that I'm not alone.

Yes, I have three ringing notes. I do not really like them. They are mostly permanent since I was quite young, possibly forever.

What I "did" was perhaps a bit stranger. At the old house, we would get up in the dead of night, hearing something like the hum of a refrigerator, indoors and out, universal. I don't know if it really was something. After moving, I somehow "encased" it, and it became rather more pleasant, is internal, somewhat musical.


I always found tinnitus difficult, because, for example, it is a real enough noise that it drowns out conversation. I can't understand anything that quiet people say. And when focused, mine is about like having a jet parked beside your head. This other, musical motor-type sound, actually is relaxing, and does not make such a bad distraction.

Yes, E sounds about right. I’d always put it down to smoggy airwaves...

At times, the sound may become extremely intense to the point of overwhelming. It can be a bit terrifying, but if you let go and go into it without fear, it can result in an OBE. It is almost like being in an intense electrical-like current.
(this can happen when we are in an alpha brainwave state.)

Ah, perhaps this is of interest inasmuch as it is from a Buddhist perspective but the sound I believe you are referring to actually has "universal" significance and is called "The Sound of Silence" eh ?

The Sound of Silence - The Ajahn Sumedho Anthology - Chapter 12 - The Sound of Silence (PDF) (https://cdn.amaravati.org/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/Ajahn-Sumedho-Volume-4-The-Sound-of-Silence.pdf)


Somebody referred to the sound of silence as a cosmic hum, a scintillating almost electric background sound. Even though it’s going on all the time we don’t generally notice it, but when your mind is open and relaxed you begin to hear it. I found this a very useful reference because in order to hear it, to notice it, you have to be in a relaxed state of awareness. When I describe this people try to find it. They go on a ten-day retreat trying to find the sound of silence, and then they say, ‘I can’t hear it, what’s wrong with me?’ They are trying to find this thing. But it’s not a thing you have to find – rather you just open to it: it’s the ability to listen with your mind in a receptive state, which makes it possible to hear the sound of silence. You’re not trying to solve any problems but just listening. You’re putting your mind into a state of receptive awareness. Awareness that is willing to receive whatever is, and one of the things you begin to recognize in that is the sound of silence.

Many years ago when I first "heard" it, I read something along the lines of how it's related to the "balancing" of the Brain's hemispheres which Meditation naturally brings about, at least insofar as I am aware ;)

I have noticed this since 2o1o when I was in my early 3os. It is mostly in my Left ear, sometimes in the Right. At the time it seemed to get louder a little while after dinner and I would think maybe I took a little too much salt. But that didn't seem to make a difference.

I really wonder if it is Tinnitus. I had some hearing loss due to navy ships, loud music, and motorcycles but the loss seemed to have improved since I have not been around a lot of noise.

I sort of wondered if it was frequencies of mind control. I have had some relief from the pressures I formerly wrote about but I am still having nightmares and they do not seem to be my imagination. Given the significant difference between radio waves and sound waves, I am not so sure. I mean, can you imagine if the human ear could process radio waves into sound waves and vice versa? There are some nice videos of the human ear online that are phenomenal.

I came to the conclusion, for me, that tinnitus and this sound are different things.
I have had tinnitus, after some very loud rock concerts in the past, and that drove me nuts, whereas the comfort sound is my buddy.

Oh yes!... I discovered it at age 9 and feel just as you, if it ever stopped surely I would die, I would feel so left/abandoned and all alone.

When I had my awakening the Inner sound began changing and doing all sorts of new things, like taking me out of body.

I video logged the whole thing as it was happening, as a sort of record.

wow all. what wonderful comments. all of them!! im amazed many feel a comfort to this sound as well

and the pitch E and octaves above e. like stereo headphones, upper middle of my head yet panning left and right. often in the rhythm of night crickets

Casey. loved your videos! i was thinking you could narrate books for audible! If my musical Hypnotta is ever turned into an audio book, your hired

Yep, been there forever.
Seems to get louder when my blood pressure goes up. :rolleyes:
It could be hearing damage from loud music or machinery I've worked with, engine noise and the like, but I don't think so.
Like I said, it's been there forever.

Yes Doug, I have this experience too, much like Sue (https://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?120202-My-High-Pitched-Internal-Friend&p=1534160&viewfull=1#post1534160) explained above. I also pay attention to a sudden change, what was I just thinking or asking about that may have meaning to the change?

I think I have had a kind of tinnitus and it seems to helped by ivermectin that I take because I have other weird kinds of body feelings after working as a massage therapist....They are dull like a sort of cricket background. However I also have sudden changes in one ear pressure and also a loud kind of sound that I cannot associate with anything? IMO since I cannot associate them with anything and their randomness I wonder how they are useful?

It is like having a singing lightbulb inside my head. I also get the pressure waves. I have sometimes likened the frequencies to a running tape that periodically catches its breath. Electronic frequencies can frequently exacerbate the pitch. Being in the woods does not seem to eliminate the high frequency pitch so it does feel internally connected to consciousness.
Recall Walt Whitman famous poem: “I sing the body electric”

Good to know others relate 💡

Yes, that is more like what I was getting at by the "newer" humming noise...I got that in my 40s. I was going to come and post that it moved up about 120 degrees, and then something distracted me and the tinnitus got louder and the hum slipped back almost due left.

In a meditational context, the popular deity Avalokiteshvara is sometimes said to have his etymology as Avalokita Svara, which would mean something like "Sound which is seen". And in at least one of his Sutras he is described as reaching enlightenment in a prior cosmos by meditating on the Sound.

I imagine there could be bell-like sounds which one could hear that might be pleasing, but these are totally different, tinnitus is irritating, while the hum is tranquilizing. Tinnitus rarely goes away for long, but the hum fades rather easily.

I have had a left ear tinnitus since about '96. At first it frightened me and I wanted it to stop, but I have gotten used to it. I can't say I welcome it, it amazes me that so many have, but I accept it. It fluctuates, and I really pay very little attention to it now. I have loved hearing the responses of others about this.

I reckon my sound is around 3,961Hz.

From what I can tell mine is around 8kHz but it is a not the pure tone, it is a bit softer - like just a touch of static or fluctuation. I find I cannot distinguish too many of the tones over 11kHz which allows for some hearing loss.

In my twenties I had a pile-driving job where a one ton steel pump slammed down
steel on steel a foot from my head. Since then I have had tinnitus ringing in both ears.
It is so constant that I am not aware of it most of the time.

For some reason it seems to be louder at times. I have read and heard about something
that can be used to stop hearing the sound but I don't want to wear something like that.

My hearing is excellant but I'm very sensitive to noise pollution. It really bothers me
when most people around me don't like the noise but say they get used to it or don't
hear it conciously.

To me there is no such thing as perfect silence. Where I live now I sometimes would have
almost absolute silence if it was not for the ringing in my ears.

Oh, the high pitched sound I "hear" (it's just present) according to the link above, is around 13000Hz, it hasn't changed in all the years I have paid attention to it nor is it unpleasant or disruptive thus it's not Tinnitus eh ?

In any case I had a hearing test not so long ago which didn't raise any concerns ... :thumb:

Yeah, I've had this forever. I've also had tinnitus and know the difference between the two. It's especially 'loud' as soon as I wake up, but kind of 'disappears' as I start the day, I get used to it so don't notice it anymore. I've read that these sounds are spirit guidance/celestial tones and I resonate with that. I also hear it at certain times when I feel I need to 'pay attention' to something, and that it's guidance ...wherever it may come from.

Kryztian
22nd December 2022, 00:16
Yup, I've got it too. I never really noticed it until about 7 years ago. I told a friend about it (who had tinnitus) and he seemed to think I was mentally ill and ended our friendship (because of this and other more "weird" things I embraced) so I really haven't told anyone about it, nor do I think about it all that much. Frankly, I don't think about it much anymore - it is just "there" and once in a while the "volume" changes. It also seems to be two pitches, both a fourth (musical interval) from each other and it's hard to pinpoint on the piano even though I am a musician, but it is not a "C" or "E" as you have it. Perhaps the pitch changes slightly.

I had been thinking that the pitch was slightly disconcerting. I kept asking myself: is it related to EMF or from a cell phone tower or is there a CIA van outside beaming something into my house :loco: ? I never found any good answers as to why. Knowing that so many of you are comforted by it, well, maybe I should be too.

22nd December 2022, 00:26
When it becomes annoying, I just turn up the music. :)

I like it though, when it seems to go from being in the centre and morphs only to the right ear...then it tapers off sometimes and eventually returns to the centre.

Anyone else experience this change? Is it due to air pressure from weather perhaps?

22nd December 2022, 04:46
I think thought affects perceptions of frequencies among myriad physical influences. There are so many EMF signals emanating from everything compounded by radio waves, invisible resonance and noise. I find it difficult to distinguish externally driven frequencies from internally generated consciousness. I am definitely affected more at night by electric lamps and electronics so that my brain feels wired. I too get a pressurized sensation at odd times, like a tone goes off in one ear and then a rather deafening pressure wave akin to being underwater (which I also have internalized with some sort of spiritual significance like dimensional signaling, a moment in which to heighten awareness). Today I experienced some relief from the high pitch while sitting close to a babbling stream, I think water is universally soothing. Listening to music and conversing with people seems to diminish the frequency intensity perhaps by the change of internal focus. Solitude seems to intensify the awareness of frequencies and that is where thought seems to be audibly shifting.

There might be all kinds of “scientific” explanations but personal testimony helps bridge human mystery in a more revelatory way, honest. Yes there are a slew of wonderfully enlightening theories about frequencies, manifest reality, consensus patterns of light and sound, individual and collective consciousness of which we learn (and forget!) .....( sorry I ramble). I imagine that the inner frequencies we hear, feel, experience relate to every other universal internally existing being of consciousness and those frequencies, waves, vortices intersect externally to creation itself. Like a friend? A friend is as true as one’s own flawed understanding of oneself.

Me too Dougy, and i cant remember not having it.
I agree, its like 3 or more high pitched sounds of the same note playing simultaneously.
It also reminds me of a clock in our house, most times i dont notice the tic tic tic, but when i do notice it, i cant get rid of it, my tinnitus is like that too, mostly i dont hear it but when i do i cant get rid of it, its not a prob though, sometimes i just wonder if i can stop it, but i cant.

But my tinnitus doesnt bother me like a clock ticking, i think of it as "White Noise".

If your trying to sleep and you can hear the clock ticking, each tick you hear (one every second) alerts your brain, but with my tinnitus its just one constant high pitched noise, like a choir all singing the same high note, my brain relaxes cause its not constantly being bombarded with a new sound every second.

Ive only just got into "White Noise" and its sooo relaxing, when my two sons were boys, they both liked the sound of the fan going on a hot night, it was one constant sound and drowns out a distant dog barking or traffic near by.

Im also aware that our airways are absolutely bombarded with electronic waves, frequencies, signals, etc and it has all got to interfere somehow to all the flora and fauna, some even suggest that our oceans become polluted with sounds of submarines ships and under water cables, this is said to be the reason why certain ocean dwellers beach themselves from interference to their navigation abilities (lay mans explanation lol).

I used to think that tinnitus had only been around for 50 or so yrs, since electronics have been around, but i remember my Dad saying he had severe tinnitus when he was a teen, my Dad was around when there was almost no automobils, fridges, TVs, Radios, mob phones, etc etc so im not sure if the modern electric world is the guilty party for most of this

Basically sounds like someone toning "aaaahhh" through an endless tube. Sometimes changes timbre.

I agree at times it’s our eternal families reaching out. Also my understanding of the loud pitch noise is it’s data/knowledge coming through. As we adjust to the new epoch, we’ll be able to decipher it. In the meantime, we’ll gradually develop our inner senses and have access to knowledge without the firewalls.

Goodness this is a reassuring thread to read. I've had it for maybe 5 years or so .I would definitely rather not have it but has it is sometimes very quiet it's not such of a problem. I do have the occasional high pitch constant tone lasting around 30 seconds that I think RunningDeer mentioned. I also have read that it's related to incoming data . Could be I don't know but it's certainly grabs my attention when it happens .
As to the main culprit it's gone from loud to quiet just whilst I wrote this :noidea:

I have had constant intermittent white noise in my ears/head for a long time and it is now constant, with me all the time. I worry it may be related to shedding or nano tech of some sort (hopefully not the self assembling kind). I don't consider it a ringing noise but just a continuous white noise and I'm not sure how to feel about it, worried it might be related in some way to technology. I wonder if more people are feeling this now. My eyes are getting blurry and I'm experiencing double vision a lot and I'm becoming increasingly forgetful - it could be age or maybe something else. I still see things but on the upside I do have a sort of feeling that the "energy" in my home is somewhat lighter, like a lot of darkish, heavy stuff is no longer there (which could have something to do with a device I recently purchased)?

Wow, if your message is directed at me, you took my comment to a whole other level, judging (deciding) what my values/aims are and in a sense who I am and how/what I "know/don't know" to be true! Just a reminder you do not know anything about me or my personal "journey" except for a few offerings I've made on a couple of threads (which I often think about deleting) and "perhaps" much I am not comfortable with sharing (at this time?) on a public forum.

I am only sharing a few physical ailments I am experiencing on a relevant thread (and interested in feedback from people sharing something similar - thank you Painter Doug). As an aside, I do not have an attachment to this body but I feel strongly that I need to stay the course for a bit longer in this reality. If I have a concern in any of this, it includes all my "bodies" and being able to move through the waves/interference in this reality with a healthy physical body and mind/spirit to reap the "reward" which I feel (hope) will come before my exit. And, my idea of "faith" may also differ from your notion of the same.

It was not directed at anyone in particular.

Ernie, and Eva 2

Ernie, I actually got what, and to who you were speaking to. Almost like a general overview to mankind , not to a specific person. And even with that I did feel it was misplaced in the context of this thread

I totally get Eva2, reaction , as I had the same. But Ernie, i know you here on P A for a while and so that helped me understand where you were coming from.
Reminiscent of ; see the birds, they do not reap nor sow, yet they are fed, / am I getting this correctly?

Honestly, I did not even read the title of the thread, Doug.

I've heard you mention in passing a few times now the idea of 'opting out' of life.

I heard a cry for help, I answered. I don't always. But more than most.

Especially from such a person, with so much talent, connected with so many hearts and interchanging so much love.
We are all connected. Such rash thoughts can cause a stampede of rash behavior, especially in today's depressing times.

This was my effort at spiritual shock and awe. I believe in such things.

You are part of the Avalon family - I care about you.
Sorry again for the derailment.

I have found its pitch best I can on the piano at E.   bing..  
The second one above middle C.It's not singular but in harmonies of itself.  Like a chorus of crickets at a far distance.

Tinnitus can drive people crazy but I love this companion.  If it ever stopped, I'd feel disappointed. 

It's hard to describe. its close yet far, It's sweet, and reminds me of taking your fingernail and striking a nice thin wine glass gently just so it pings.

It's never not there. I concentrate on it mainly at night while ready to sleep. It gently wavers as if a bedsheet on a clothesline on a breezy day

ok a little crazy, but does anyone have something similar?


It's great that this thread popped up. I'd actually thought about starting a thread on this subject, believe it or not.

I have pretty much the same thing you describe.

Here's my thoughts. I've had OBEs, and right before I get them, this "sound" (which I "hear" all the time if I focus on it) starts up like crazy. Having experienced this many times, I've discovered that when I lie in bed on my back and really "listen" to that sound (and relax my body more, close my eyes), I can willfully raise the intensity and the pitch. It's the raising and intensity of the pitch that, for me, leads to having an OBE. (I think it's got to do with our pineal gland and our "temple" firing up to create a "doorway".)

Sometimes, "outside" noise helps to "facilitate" on OBE... like the sound -- the hum -- of heavy machinery. This is why you can find all kinds of audio tracks that experiment with different frequencies that claim to help with meditation and/or initiate an OBE.

What's interesting to note here ("note" lol), that despite all this "sound" rushing through one's head, I find that my sphere of actual "hearing" expands beyond, say, the four walls of the room I'm in, and I can even start to hear sounds and conversations/voices down the hall and outside quite far way (mostly during the quiet of night).

So, is the term "tinnitus" possibly an invented term to make people think they have some kind of hearing problem -- that they're "broken" somehow -- when in fact they are becoming more spiritually awake and aware?

I'd guess that a "traditional" doctor is trained to tell you that the "ringing in your ears" is nothing more than a physical ailment. "Just try to ignore it." Is it all by design to keep people from focusing on it and expanding their spiritual awareness?

I've found that people having OBEs is not entirely uncommon. The "system" we live in doesn't like it when we learn just how amazing and powerful we are as spiritual individuals. Why? We become more autonomous. They hate it when they can't control your mind, your thoughts, and especially your soul/spirit.

Yes! My thoughts exactly. Plus - they want to encourage the fear aspect too. Fear of mind control, electronic frequencies, cell towers, blah blah blah. Fear the hum! Don't embrace it, whatever you do.

You're so right about the fear aspect!

Btw, I think that those man-made waves (mind-control waves? that may manifest as a sound/pitch in our ears?) only have a limited ability to affect our thoughts especially when we're aware of them. But, if we're swimming in them (and/or being targeted by them), they can be very harmful to our mental and physical health so I just avoid them as best I can.

I've seen proof of the damage EMFs can cause to our cells/DNA. The waves are like little mini daggers, sudden spikes that "stab" us, repeatedly. These EMF waves aren't like natural sine waves. With EMFs, the body can't "build up" to the impact and recover like it can with sine waves (if I remember this correctly).

When I've walked under those huge overhead power lines, I get a prickly feeling all over my skin and it's VERY uncomfortable. And, I can only guess this is related... when I've been in a room with a TV on, "broadcasting", I get very irritated and need to leave the room. Yes, the BS being aired is irritating enough, but I swear I feel something else affect my mood... It's so bad I can't tolerate it.

My living space is quite good. No wifi, no cell phone, no TV, only landline and cable.

If a person is sensitive to man-made "frequencies", they can try to surround themselves with EMF blocking metal. Using an EMF reader, I've found aluminum is effective at blocking the waves. Cheap aluminum emergency blankets can be used on walls to create a Faraday Cage effect. Aluminum-sided mobile homes are also great for this. Does it really make a difference for one's health? I think so. I've always slept great and have had a string of my best, self-initiated OBEs in a metal-protected space.

Yes, I categorize natural frequencies like that hum in my head as absolutely nothing to be afraid of! As you say, they want us to "Fear the hum!" lol! It's hard for me to imagine anyone being afraid of such a fantastic thing. The fear only comes from lack of knowing.

I'm guessing this is universal?... I've noticed that when the OBE "machine" revs up in my head, it's accompanied by an intense cold chill -- goosebumps up and down the spine! It's like being inside a cozy warm cabin on a brisk winter day and then, all of a sudden, somebody opens up the door! Burrr! So invigorating! Yet, if you don't know what's happening, it can be easily interpreted as scary which then sparks the feeling of dread.

Joseph Burkes, Medical doctor and contactee writes about how the ringing in his ears began after some UFO experiences in Mexico and would happen while he was discussing the UFO topic.

When Ringing in the Ears is More than Just Tinnitus

MECHANISMS OF CONTACT: High Strangeness of an Auditory Kind. A Stereotypical Ringing was Apparently Linked to Consciousness & May Have Represented a Form of Telepathic Communication.

Joseph Burkes MD 2018

“Each object produces a unique signature”

In 1993, I travelled into the Volcanic Zone near Mexico City as part of a Close Encounters of the Fifth Kind (CE-5) investigation. “CE-5” can also be designated as a “Human Initiated Contact Event” (HICE). While in Mexico, I had a number of remarkable sightings. One night I witnessed a large silent triangular craft that signaled at our team. On another occasion in broad daylight at close range, I saw a metallic disc with rectangular windows as it flew past three members of our group.

MY LEVEL OF CONTACT INCREASED AFTER MEXICO

On returning to Los Angeles, I was very excited about what I had experienced in Mexico. I was eager to share with anyone who was willing to listen. During the weeks after arriving back to the States, I had several different kinds of “high strangeness” experiences. I had two personal UFO sightings in broad daylight. In addition, during contact work in the Malibu Hills with my LA CE-5 team, an anomalous sound tracked through our research site. I also started experiencing a recurring ringing in the ears that seemed to represent communication.

RINGING IN THE EARS IS A COMMON

Tinnitus, or ringing in the ears is a common complaint associated with a wide range of ear disorders. Over the years I had occasionally experienced tinnitus, usually after hearing a very loud noise. The ringing never was very strong nor did it last long. In the clinic, I had a small number of elderly patients that complained of tinnitus. Usually they had degenerative conditions of the inner ear.

In my four decades of internal medicine practice, I have never encountered a patient who told me that the ringing was brought on by a specific topic of discussion. As outrageous as it may seem, this is what happened to me when I returned from the Mexico in 1993. I actually heard a stereotypical ringing when talking about UFOs. By sharing this report, I imagine that I join other UFO witnesses that have learned from personal experience an important aspect of how UFO intelligence communicates. And yet I can provide absolutely no proof that any communication has occurred.

A CHANCE TO TALK ABOUT MY MEXICAN ADVENTURE

As part of my duties as a Kaiser ER physician, I had the opportunity to work several shifts per month at our company’s corporate office. It was kind of a treat to get away from the ambulance area and do semi-administrative work.

The Case Coordination Center was an office in Pasadena that received phone calls from hospitals all over Southern California. When Kaiser patients presented at outside ERs, those that was not part of our health plan, the non-Kaiser doctors were required to call us at the Pasadena office to discuss the case. If the patients were stable, we transferred them to our Kaiser medical facilities. It was all done over the phone. This job was a nice break from the stressful conditions of direct patient care in the ER. The nurses and clerical staff in the Pasadena office were very friendly. Another perk was that our corporate HQ had a cafeteria where the food was far superior to the usual hospital fare that I dined on at my Kaiser ER job.

THE STRANGE RINGING ONLY OCCURRED WHILE TALKING ABOUT UFOs

When there were no calls coming in, I had a chance to chat with my co-workers about what had happened in Mexico. To my utter surprise each time I spoke about UFOs, I noticed a strange ringing in my ears. It was not like the tinnitus that I had experienced after noise exposure. Instead of being high pitched, this anomalous ringing sound was low in pitch and very loud at first. However, after a few seconds, the volume dropped off considerably. Within a minute the ringing completely disappeared, only to recur immediately after I started up another conversation about flying saucers. In the course of a 24-hour shift, I heard the stereotypical tinnitus about a half-dozen times, but never when speaking about any other subject.

Thank all of you – your testimonies are quite interesting.

I experience what may be called the opposite.

Two contextual elements: (1) for the last years I have happened to hear with difficulty the upper Hertz frequencies (due to old age). This means that I can hardly hear “flageolet” tones on the violin or the piccolo flute playing in the classical orchestra. That is compensated for by a greater acuity in the lower Hertz range. Listening to, say, Beethoven’s Symphonies has become a new experience, I can hear musical things I had not heard before. (2) Where I live (a small 5 kilometer wide and 30 kilometer long valley in rural Southern France) there is, day after day, for longish stretches of time (hours) (except when there is a storm) no wind, and at any rate no sound pollution from traffic or industries; the consequence is: complete silence when, due to the heat, also the animals (the birds) take a rest. Both leading to me having the daily experience of silence – I would never have been able before to conceive how soothing that is. A samadhi tank for the ears only. I can see the leaves of the trees as if waiting, calmly, for a breath of wind.

To that, I do not add a sound produced in me – by myself or “somebody else”. I hear silence and silence hears me.

Thanks Michel, and others, really interesting, two observations, that may be related:

1) Two people have told me (years ago) about 'voices' they hear. In both cases death followed, only years later, much too early, by 'accident'. But the voice they described was a 'normal' voice.

2) I have a constant hich-pitched 'tinnitus', tested (when I was young) years ago as lowered hearing, ~4kHz. I just tried to 'hear' it, with a sw-app, seemed to be resonating to a bit higher than 'G7-A7'...

Edit: According to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piano_key_frequencies ,
A7 would be 3520 Hz, so my 'noise' would still match the ~4kHz 'problem'.

I have had several different kinds of out of body experiences over the years and im pretty certain that this wobbling high pitch tune is the sound of our spirit/soul that runs through our head and body. Usually where i hear it loudest is behind the ears or center of skull or at the third eye.

Closest thing i have found that resembles that sound is around 7th minute on this track.Those who have experienced it might recognize it

Thank you all very much for all the posts.
I have just found this thread.
I did a "T" search because I feel such overwhelming despair.
Simply one of those days...they pass.
I am still here.

The ringing, for me, began at this loud shouty-pitch about 9 years ago now. It is constant and unrelenting. I find the noise (beeps, static, cicadas, sometimes tunes) to be very wearying.
I need almost 100 per cent solitude.
One explanation, as I understand, is that my brain makes the noise to replace the hearing loss (in my right ear)>
Apparently the fine cilia hairs --carry vibration of sound for the brain to process--are no more.

I have tried so many remedies.
some very basic ones like no caffeine, mindful of sodium levels, no alcohol etc.
No change.
remedies like vit B12
mushroom tinctures, acupuncture etc
nope
When I was in my Dolores Cannon "phase", asking her daughter, Julia. She simply told me to ask "them" to TURN It DOWN>
and envision it.
sigh
New age peeps telling me I was not hearing something my body was trying to tell me.
Or it could be WiFi
Radiation, solar flares, EMF
Interdenominational beings wishing to communicate; part of the body's electrical system upgrade

I began yoga as a means to calm my body--my parasympathetic nervous system. I wondered then if it was all linked to my, Chiron Return (in Aries in the sixth house of health/daily rituals).
My age and the timing was precise. Having a meaning gave me some kind of peace and acceptance.

But some days like today, well...
Nothing feels real.
I have come to accept the noise and that I have no idea of the "why"

what is up feels down. Yes, that strange double speak of 1984
And interpretive tools like, astrology, feel speculative.

The ringing (LOUD) just is.

The only option is to embrace.

I am totally introverted as a result--as if I am allergic to people and sound. Of course I can manage people (must needs exist in the world with interactions on a daily basis) , but it takes effort--as if play-acting.

If I am here, in this world, it is necessary to have beauty around me. The ocean, dolphins, where I can move the body...it is free-ing. Yes, I can feel the blessings then.
There is only experience and it is varied. So that is the choice to pay ridiculously high rent...

Feeling a little better now having written all that. Hey, thanks for reading this post.
and wishing you a goodly day!
