    Me.

    It’s an explosion in my head.

    Like this : imagine a sound. For example, a cat meow. Meow meow. You doing that? Are you “hearing” that meow in your “mental sound space”?

    Now imagine the sound is 500x louder. And it isn’t a meow, its an explosion.

    It sounds like the blast of compressed air when you disconnect a compressor fitting.

    That’s what it’s like.

    It happens in half-sleep.

    I’ve had big blasts that make me go “woah” a couple times a month since forever. I had a really big blast that made me go “holy shit!” just a couple days ago.

      I heard something a few days ago that sounded 100% like someone crashing a car through my apartment. I jumped up and looked around, and nothing was happening. Sometimes it just sounds like a gunshot next to my ear, but usually it sounds like an industrial crash. Screeching metal exploding.
