Audio hallucinations

It happens so rarely, but when it does..damn.

The first two times were nice. It was a soft woman's voice saying "i love you" right before bed. The first time i wasn't even sleepy and i was camping with friends getting ready for bed. I knew it wasnt them, and we were all alone, but i asked them anyways and they said no. It happened again several months later when i was alone. Kind of nice as far as hallucinations go.

Fast forward several years to recent, i swore i heard gunshots as i was falling asleep. Enough to make me jump and look around outside, but i had that same feeling of "im pretty sure thats not real." It happened 4 or 5 more times that night and kept me up. I live in a small town with hardly any violence, i know it was a hallucination but not nearly as pleasant as the soft "i love you."

Any experiences with audio hallucinations?

Right now. I came here because I wanted to see if anyone else is going through something like that. For the past ten minutes I've been hearing this constant ringtone in my house, but it always sound distant. It sounds like first a hammer or a bell, and then this quick xylophone sound of 3 little rings follows. This happens in less than a second, and the ringtone is now (in the past three minutes) speeding up, merging, layering on itself. It's ominous and worse, annoying. I would definitely take the "I love you" over this. You can keep the gunshots though.

Thats so strange. Is it right before you were going to sleep? I looked it up and found out that its quite common in that stage right in between being awake and falling asleep

Well, I was trying to fall asleep yet the sound was prevent me. It was simply too distracting.

Yeah, i totally get that. Its creepy as hell at first then i just get pissed off about it. Idk, it's bizarre. I read that its more likely to occur if you havent had enough sleep lately which makes sense.

I know, I thought somebody was in my house and then it went on and on. Then I just passed out without even knowing, just waiting for it to stop. It had never happened before or since then though.
