Comment on Why you hear voices in your white noise machineparent

Comments

I have aphantasia, so when I close my eyes most of the time I see nothing.

But sounds - on queue I can "pull up" a song and play it in my head - full orchestra, guitars, etc. I'm not very musically talented by my brain certainly runs on sound vs vision.

When I'm in the shower sometimes (like this) I'll hear something like a shout or a voice - it occasionally happens randomly too in other situations - but I certainly don't think it's some discarnate spirit - there is usually something else to accompany it and I assume it's my brain filling in the rest.

But I also do not have that. Starting to feel a bit short-changed here.

This actually pretty accurately describes what goes on inside my head - no pictures, but a life soundtrack.

The "voice" in the noise is unintelligible, so I figure I'm safe until it starts to tell me to do things I should not.
