    Does anyone else hear every electronic device and feel a wave of comfort when the power goes out?

      I don’t hear most of it consciously but I do feel the wave of comfort. It happens allot more now that I live rural. Lose power bout once a month for an hour, or two. It is just enough that you’re still comfortable temperature.

      I think it is mostly the Fridge. That thing loud AF and is always making noise.

      Only some things. Like a TV or a speaker. Even when nothing is playing or they’re muted, there’s like this high pitched whine coming from them. A busted GPU in a PC makes a similar sound, though louder (coil whine). I sometimes feel like Quark that time he kept hearing shit in the shuttle with Odo and it turned out to be a bomb; hearing a faint thing no one else does until I pinpoint the source and turn it off.

      My hearing isn’t sharp enough to hear EVERY electronic device, but idling vehicle engines and noisy refrigerators do this to me.

        Starting to wonder, I’m talking about hearing even electricity in the wires. It’s hard to exactly explain it, but it’s like a pressure on my eardrums and sensation in my head. It’s not a distinct sound like a refrigerator, just a presence. There’s different pitches for different devices too, oven burners are a low hum where led lightbulbs are a shrill whine.

      One of the first times i tripped i saw all this purple dots coming off my tv that was turned off. It was very distracting, so i unpluged my tv and it faded away in like a minute.

            So were the purple dots real electric phenomena? or just part of the trip imagined by your head?

            have scientific studies been done on what people see when they’re tripping? like do we really see electronic signals and people’s auras etc

              I fully believe they were real. If the purple dots were just in my head as i imagined things i dont know.
