If you've ever heard music, voices, or other sounds while trying to sleep with a white noise machine running, you're not losing your mind. Here's what's going on.
Every night, I—like millions of others—put on a noise machine to help me sleep. Mine offers several types of noise: white, pink, green, and brown. I’ve noticed something strange, though. After about 30 minutes of the noise pumping into my head, I start to hear things. Sometimes it’s music, like a full orchestral score. Other times it’s people having a conversation just out of the range where I’d hear actual words. Occasionally, it sounds like my husband playing a video game.
So me hearing a symphony in my noise machine? It’s like looking at a fuzzy picture with people in it. I wouldn’t be able to tell who each person is; I would just recognize people and then make my own assumptions from there. It’s like the auditory equivalent of seeing the Virgin Mary in a piece of bread.
