10. Hi Marthe...

I have audio hallucinations whenever a fan is running.

I've just recently heard about this phenomenon, and there is a reason for it.

Sometimes when a fan is running, I hear the most BEAUTIFUL music...it is not something I have heard before...it's like I'm composing it. Sometimes I hear people talking to me.

It's normal. Here's an interesting article:

I sometimes wish that I was a musician, so I could replicate these songs via musical notation...but alas...once I no longer hear the fan, they are gone for good.
