Hi,
This is a follow-up to my first email about occasionally hearing
indistinct voices in white noise or fan noise. I did some research on-line
including at hearing-voices.org that I found far less scary than the
standard medical diagnosis.
Here are some of my thoughts about this:
(1) The scientific explanation would be an auditory hallucination
caused by the brain trying to interpret a noise as speech.
(2) From the time I was about 20 until I was 40ish I would occasionally
see visual hallucinations in a dimly lit bedroom when I was in the
stage between sleeping and awake if something happened to draw my
attention. That finally stopped in my 40's. I learned to see that my mind was
forming objects or things out of dimly perceived actual things. I had
pretty much forgotten about that - I'm in my late 50s now. Now I think
that this was probably similar but as a sound instead of a visual
hallucination. So I've decided I'm not going crazy.
(3) As an electronic engineer I am aware that there are cases in
recovering very low level signals in non-linear systems where the addition of
an appropriate level of a bias or a white noise can make it possible
to recover a signal that might otherwise be undetectable. If there is
something to paranormal - It might be that by hearing or seeing white
noise we might "bias our brain" enough for it to start making patterns out
of things not ordinarily sensed. For example, maybe in looking for
patterns in tea leaves, sheep entrails or whatever, that just maybe the
fortune teller or shaman senses something else that is real or lets his
mind "connect the dots" on a subconscious level.
(4) Many years ago when I was in my 20's I was building up a sensitive
microphone preamplifier one night and listening via headphones to see
how it worked out. It was very late that night and the neighborhood was
quiet. I became "spooked" by what I heard in the headphones. I took off
the headphones and compared the sounds I could hear with my unaided
ears to what I heard from the microphone. I could identify a dog far away
in the distance, traffic far away, things like that. But out of the
static I also seemed to hear something like voices. They were indistinct
but made the hair stand up on the back of my neck. My unaided ears
heard no such voices. I confess the experience scared the crap out of me at
the time. I disconnected the microphone amplifier, tossed it in my
junk box, and went to bed trying to forget what I may have heard. I never,
ever, repeated that experiment. By the way I am generally not prone to
anxiety or fear.
