I will admit that I do. However, in my defense, I hear music coming from the faucet while it is on and I like to jam to hallucinatory music while I brush. My brain just makes whatever it wants to hear from any white noise source but water from the tap in the bathroom produces the best results.
Not reliably, I tend to hear metal or jazz and I think that correlates with the amount of noise in the white noise. It’s more like a slower flow makes less noise so I hear less music or none at all. It’s gotta be saying Ssshhhhhh or I don’t hear squat.
Audio pareidolia is the phenomenon where your brain perceives familiar sounds, such as words or music, in random noise, like the hum of a fan or running water. This occurs because your brain is wired to recognize patterns, even in ambiguous auditory stimuli.
Too many hallucinogens in my youth? I hear music in the shower too. Anywhere where a white noise is the dominant sound my brain just starts making shit up. I get the same deal staring at static on an old tv. I start seeing patterns in the chaos.

…I’ll allow it.
Sounds like mild schizophrenia…
Is it schizophrenia if we are all in agreement?
😂 this got me
Can you change the genre by varying the flow rate?

That’s really interesting. Is there a name for it that you know of?

Ha, this happens to me when I’m high. I love how odd sounds can be turned into music in that state.
Sub conscious pattern recognition is what tripping is all about. It’s nice to know I’m not the only one who has experienced this.
