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