Phantom music Increase Your PM Length

This getting truly irritating! I have checked every thing capable of producing music and they are all turned off. But I can still hear music playing! Somebody tell me the cure!

Suicide (no, that's not a serious suggestion!)

Either your neighbours are playing music,

or you have tinnitus and your brain is translating it as music so that's what you think you hear.

It's not the neighbors because I have never heard them play music before. I don't know what tinnitus is. I think I'll try your first suggestion.

Increase Your PM Length

either suicide or you have the same problem as I have. your stereo receives radio waves. I bet if you remove the cable it instantly stops. it's because I use a stereo cable for a mono entry, probably some delicate bridging there resulting in the cable working like an antenna. or so. only sometimes anyway.

remove the wire to your stereo. if it stops instantly, I'm right and you'll have to endure it.

Nope, no festival. I might enjoy if I could turn it up to the point where I could understand the singer. Failing that.....

I don't normally listen to music so I don't know how to classify it. Do you realize that for there are as many smilies as posts in this thread? This thread is distracting me so there is little need to .

Perhaps your metal fillings/skull plate are picking up radio waves? It has ben known to happen...

Or perhaps you're brain is so starved of music it is making up it's own?

I've been hearing it since about an hour before I started this thread. Clenching my teeth has no effect so I doubt it my fillings. Maybe MIRTH is right.

Unplug all the wires from all of your speakers. My computer speakers sometimes pick up radio waves. (pieces of junk that they are)

I had something similar a few weeks ago... Every minute or so I heard a duck go "Quack".

Though I was going mad... turned out it was a popup advert I hadn't noticed.

EDI: Try sticking your fingers in your ears. If it gets quieter, you're not suffering a hallucination (can be auditory, as well as visual kind)

The music sounds like it's coming from my clock/radio. But when I bring it close to my ear I can't hear anything. I only hear the music when my radio is at arms' length.

It might be country. I can't really tell because it sounds like the beginning of a song, but all I here is the beginning, played over and over again. Occasionally it changes to a different song.

geesalak? That couldn't have been a typo. It appears that I've managed to pass the irritation on to somebody else. My work here is finished.
