I hear distant music in the middle of the night

This has happened to me.

Weird about breast pumps. I kept hearing mine distinctly repeat New York over and over. No one else heard it. I also definitely hallucinated phrases of classical music when I spoke too much pot in college one night and was trying to sleep.

This happened to me and I thought I was going nuts but it was just someone playing the flute far away. I have good hearing.

Years ago I had a work study job cleaning a campus building at night. Sometimes I'd do it fairly early at night but other times like 3-4 am (it took about 3 hours to do the cleaning) and the building noises would start sounding like people talking at a party. It can be just your brain turning background sounds into something when you are very tired.

Sometimes as I fall asleep I will hear classical type music in my head, or see landscapes floating past me.

I'm also super sensitive to noise like radio, stereo, TV, video games when I'm in bed. I used to have neighbors on the floor below me who were bartenders who played video games when they got home late at night. They had it turned way way down but it would still keep me awake unless I had a fan running.

My friend who used to live near a radio tower said sometimes the music would get picked up by her appliances. Like she could hear radio from her microwave. I hear music periodically from cars driving far in the distance. It doesn't last long. I also hear traffic white noise, and I'm not even close to a major road. Psychotic people I think normally hear people talking to them, not music. Hearing music is normal.

Everyone, you are NOT CRAZY. It's called auditory hallucinations.

I have it from time to time, and it's made me think I was crazy. It's kept me awake at night. I've gotten up and searched the house to see if an Alexa was playing music in another room. I've thought that neighbors (I live in a single family separate house) were having a party, and gone outside to check, but nothing.

I spoke to my doctor about it, and he said it was just auditory hallucinations, and it's not that unusual.

It only happens to me at night, and not all the time, just occasionally, especially when I an experiencing insomnia.

Now, when it happens I just put my headphones on and listen to actual music to try to get back to sleep.

My assumption would be a clock radio alarm somewhere. Either in your house, where the volume is turned very low, or a neighbors house. If they have a window open you might hear it from far away.

Yes, it’s in my head. So annoying. Very very faint.

Cars sometimes stop at lights near our street and we hear this kind of thing. Often it's early morning delivery guys like the Washington Post.

Could it be from lack of sleep? When I’m extremely tired, I sometimes think I hear music.

Yes, same here.

Me three! I think our brains focus on the rhythmic patterns of the noise and immediately equate it to music.

Me 5. I’ve had this happen on and off over the years. Always weirds me out and also wondered if I was losing my mind. Also frightened me in the past because it only seeded to happen when I was tired ( also happened to me when breastfeeding) or stressed so I was paranoid that it was the beginning of schizophrenia. Good news is that this hasn’t happened in years and so far I’m still sane - I think anyway!

NP. It happens to me too. It happened in every house I’ve lived in as an adult. Sometimes I get up to tell my teen to turn down the volume and find out he is sleeping. DH thinks I’m crazy when I talk about hearing music. I’ve never heard of auditory hallucinations but maybe that’s it.

As soon as I raise my head it goes away.
It sounds like it's upstairs like you said as well as
Well as the time frame you mentioned. Your not
CraZy. You are connected!

I get this sensation occasionally- also only when my head is down on my pillow. I use a sound machine and I figure that’s what it is , and my brain is turning it into something musical when my ear is squished in the pillow
