i'm curious because i hear phantom music all the time - music that's in your head but your mind hears it playing out loud on a stereo. i get this after a bit of sleep deprivation and of course drugs can induce it. this is how i write most of my music
i have heard it's rare but for some reason i doubt it. anyone know more about it?

i experience synesthaesia when i meditate. phantom smells are another thing as well. i don't know how interrelated these things are tho

peace
 
Sometimes I hear phantom music, both when high and not high...so I'm guessing it's not too rare. I never thought much about it, I was more hoping it was normal and assuming it happens to everyone. None of the music I hear is ever anything unfamiliar to me, though. If it was, I think that's when I'd start to worry a bit.
 
many famous classical composers wrote symphonies in their heads before it ever reached paper.

from a musicians standpoint, it's almost expected that you should hear music in your head.
 
I hear music while under the influence of psychedelics, but that's normal.
Other then that, I hear music when I'm very tired and/or tweaked.
 
When i was binging heavily on meth a few years back i would often hear phantom music. I also heard people talking but like muffled as if behind a closed door or in another room. I would hear really complex music stuff that was currently on radio play and other times really grateful dead-esque guitar noodling. The majority of the phantom music i would hear seemed to sound like 70's classic rock. This of course would typically occur after about 5-7 days with out sleep.
 
Me me! I do! But only after I've just got home from raving. The music still plays in my head and I can't sleep because I just dance around my actually silent room to it like a loonatic.
Also, after a festival I went to this year, I heard the bass of the rave tent for about three days non stop. It made me sad because I knew I couldn't go there for another year :(
 
I hear my cellphone ring ALL THE TIME while really high+ no sleep
And I asked my friend about it and she said the same thing, haha.
 
its called an "earworm", theres a technical name in german, but i cant remember it

alot of time they are songs that are easily identifiable, like "achey breaky heart" but sometimes someone gets a song that they cant identify. most of the time its a random song they heard once or twice, occaisonally its comepletely made up, but its a real phenomenon, part of a group of sensory hallucinations that include unexpected tastes or smells. this group has a name, but i cant remember that either. wish i could find the article where i read this stuff
 
I hear it when I'm drifting off and wake back up and realize I have been listening to music in an almost dream.
 
whenever i have stayed awake for few...days or so i hear music when theres ambient noise i.e. it sounds like nofx is in the exaust fan playing a song..its exactly like listening to a mp3..trips me out

that's usually where i hear it too, in white noise like a fan blowing or the hum of the microwave. When i have been up a really long time i hear it in the silence as if my ears are straining to hear something so my mind fills the void.
 
Yeah man when I'm in the right headspace noothing amuses me more than listening to white noise sources and letting my brain fill in the gaps, microwave ovens are very good for this sort of thing.

It was actually going a bit too far this morning cuz I was a bit delirious and poorly.
 
I hear it in white noise, like weird hissing modem/fax type noise if I've been awake for > 24h, only on good meth. If its medium quality stuff I won't hear it (with a bunch of other effects I've come to associate with quality product). If I've been out and had a really good time and drugs may or may not have been involved (mostly they prob have but it has happened sober), I'll have full on accurate auditory hallucinations of the music that was playing while I fall asleep (reverse PTSD?). If psychs were involved in combo with loud music, 99% chance of falling asleep to the sound of some track blaring forth in my mind.
 
i guess i'm pretty sensitive. smoking weed makes me hear music. last night everything around me was morphing, sounds colors. as i listened to the music it grew continually louder. it's never identifiable music and i can manipulate it with my thoughts sometimes

the music i was listening to through headphones later was changing pitch every so often with a heavy static noise %)

this makes it a bit confusing at times tho.. say i'm high. i can't always distinguish where some sound is coming from..like i heard the tv behind me but i was standing in front of it and the speakers were projecting in front of me as well

Sound is a wave and sound waves expand as they travel farther from the source. The wider apart the waves are the louder they sound. It is entirely possibly you heard the sound coming from behind, because the sound waves had expanded to that optimal point where they are the loudest and had bounced off the wall or an object behind you. This is why sitting at your PC listening to music doesn't sound quiet as loud as it does when you step like 5-10 feet away.
