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.
Me.
It’s an explosion in my head.

Wouldn’t you develop PTSD from this kind of thing
Apparently not
