1 | Y | Often, music will sound much louder than it actually is |
2 | N | Not hallucinations as much as inability to tell the source of sounds, or put them in their proper context. A bird's song could be something very strange. |
3 | Y | YES!!! And in case you're interested, my audial hallucinations sometimes don't go away. One time I tripped, then the next weekend I smoked a lot of pot and I started hallucinating audially, and it was much worse than when I was tripping. When I woke up the next day, the audial hallucinations were still in my head. Eventually, though, they went away ...You know, buzzing, talking, just WEIRD sounds. |
4 | Y | only on DOM , Mindless gibbering. A cacophony of sound |
5 | Y | echoes it's hard to describe the difference between hearing ordinary reggae and dub reggae if you know what i mean |
6 | N | - |
7 | N | - |
8 | Y | Sounds sound like ambient soundscapes. sort of echoey and misdirected. |
9 | N | - |
10 | Y | Echoing, mostly, sometimes words sounds backwords. Sometimes higher level, words transposed |
11 | Y | not so much any clear "noise" or "sound", but a mixing of vision, smell, hearing, touch, and imagination |
12 | Y | The most memorable was whenever I took acid I noticed the sound of gusts of winds blowing, but no leaves on trees, tec. were moving. This was always with me when I dropped acid. |
13 | Y | High beeps in my ear. I believe this is due of high blood pressure, but can't be sure. |
14 | N | - |
15 | N | - |
16 | N | - |
17 | Y | Often music in the wind, sometimes voices. |
18 | N | - |
20 | Y | enhancement of sound, synaesthesia with visual sensation phasing/flanging normal speaking sounding like gibberish |
21 | N | - |
22 | Y | Music sounds very weird. Sometimes I hear strange oscillations, but usually I find that I "notice" ordinary sounds much more, like the sound of the refrigerator or heater coming on, or the noise behind a piece of recorded music. |
23 | N | closed ended questions are difficult in this case. no i don't hear anything that isn't there but music sounds better, different. well, the music seems hightened, "trippier". i seem to hear more, and i seem to get more of the meaning of the music. |
24 | N | - |
25 | N | - |
26 | Y | only heightening of sounds and distortions of layers of sound- like someone sitting next to you talking seems a mile away, or really loud music seeming faint. |
27 | Y | Have you ever heard the sound effect called flanging? if not, go to a music shop and ask to hear one of their audio effect processors flange a simple sound. this is the closest I can come to expressing the effect. When the experience is more intense (i.e higher dose) the effect may sometimes resolve into discreet echos. a side note: flanging is (technically) achieved by mixing a delayed ('echoed') signal with the original signal. The longer the delay, the lower the pitch of the 'flange' until the delay time becomes long enough to be percieved as a seperate 'echo'. Draw your own conclusions. |
28 | N | - |
29 | Y | Not necessary halls, but hearing is crystal clear. One can make out lyrics that were only noise before. |
30 | Y | sometimes I hear more, or everything is clearer, and I can pick out each individual sound |
31 | Y | yes, in the sense that music is not how I remember it. It comes imbued with odd effects and echoes and the time scale it happens over seems much longer. |
32 | N | only when i combined nitrous with LSD |
33 | N | - |
34 | N | - |
35 | Y | The origin of a sound moves around. And as it flies past my ear the doppler effect makes it high pitched. |
36 | N | - |
37 | Y | When I do, they are often of voices screaming or crying - sort of a random mess of people in agony and screaming. I also often get earscolding voices, and even just random bits of everyday sentances. They are primarily female voices. Actually, I don't get them very often while on drugs, but usually when I'm very very tired, or in the sort of hallucinatory threshold between consciousness and sleep. |
38 | Y | whispering voice, voices yelling from a distance, bells, ringing phones My hearing is super-sensitive when on hallucinogens. |
39 | N | - |
40 | N | - |
41 | N | - |
42 | N | - |
43 | Y | Spurious buzzes and other noises, sound sppeds up and slows dows, subtle changes in general perception, etc. |
44 | N | - |
45 | Y | There's generally a flanged buzzing sound, but on stronger doses I can hear entire works of rather intricate ambient "space music." On one of my recent higher doses, I noticed that I liked the song that was playing, soI went to the CD player to see what was playing, and the CD player wasn't even on. |
46 | Y | Not so much hallucunation as it is distortion of what the real sound was. |
47 | Y | For example strange music, or extremely good music (strrrong grroove) that is felt in whole body. Echoes (of real nonechoing sounds), sounds mutate. |
48 | Y | Sounds become "bouncy"; silence reveals a buzzing sound, like a bee flying behind your ear |
49 | N | - |
50 | Y | Answer: Sounds (especially music) sound much more 3D-like. i.e. I can follow a single instrument or a tone on its way through the room. Most of the time I can watch all sound as if the sound-waves were visible. |
51 | N | - |
52 | Y | You bet. All the time. Mostly music. Sometimes I'd hear things that went with the visuals, like the sound of a train, or the sound of these funny brightly colored bouncy "spring people." |
53 | Y | Mild distortions of sounds I hear (cars, animals, voices, etc). |
54 | Y | distortions in things I hear that sound like its flanging or echoing. This is rare |
55 | N | - |
56 | Y | I get a phased/flanged effect, or everything sounds far away sometimes. Sometimes, you listen to music you have heard before, and it sounds like nothing you have ever heard. |
57 | Y | many times visuals seem to be triggered by the audio, have heard voices when no one else was around |
58 | N | - |
59 | Y | my name being whispered, sounds like i'm hearing it in my left ear |
60 | N | - |
61 | Y | THE SOUNDS ON A RECORD SLOWING DOWN SLIGHTLY. AN INCREASED ABILITY TO SEPERATE INDIVIDUAL INSTRUMENTS PLAYING SIMULTANEOUSLY. HEARING MORE DEPTH IN BIRD CALLS. IN GENERAL, A MELTING OF MANY DIFFERENT SOUNDS WITH A DISTORTION OF THIER DISTANCE. |
62 | N | some auditory distortion on mescaline |
