I can honestly say I hear music. not rap or country. more like spa or elevator.
nothing around, no tvs, noise. but I swear I can hear it.
it's not voices, it's music.
not really annoying but strange. do you hear music?

Not at the moment but I have before. It sounded like a cellphone ringtone I had never heard before and went on and on and on. Mostly at night when it was quiet.

- This could be a "variety" of tinnitus.
Have you started any new Rx or OTC product that is ototoxic?
For a preliminary check, Google the drug/product name with "Bauman" and "ototoxic"
It's also best to have his book at home as there are hundreds of pages to his book that are not accessible via a web search. Neil G. Bauman "Ototoxic Drugs" 3rd edition.
Have you been using in-the-ear pods or even on-the-ear headphones?
Chances are that the cranial nerves that supply the vestibular system are irritated in some way.
Could also be the music integration part of your brain being overly stimulated. -

- MAGNESIUM could help calm down the over active nerve endings, too.
Also check to see if you have any neuro-excitatory food additives:
See post: Caution: Aspartate; Glutamine; and Phenylalanine (3 excitatory amino acids that can be wrong for us when added as supplements, beyond a normal dietary level)
Seaweed has its own natural MSG and can be very excitatory -

- If none of those things are in the picture, it could just be a way your brain is processing memories or being active.
Check any MOTORS - usually attached to fans in your home, such as fridge or AC unit. Neighbors' fans can also trigger this kind of tinnitus. When you notice it, see if there are any fans humming in your auditory range (and that could be a whole block, actually, depending upon the kind of fan / motor --- hot tubs, pools, etc.). -

- Maybe you are about to compose some great symphony or pop song. Go with it, I'd say. Do check all the meds you do take now, though, not just new ones, if this becomes annoying.
And if it bothers sleep, check dose, type and frequency (3 x day) of magnesium to be sure your ear nerves aren't too frayed. Magnesium is the great nerve fiber soother. -

I used to get this something terrible. Everywhere I went, every place I lived, and any time of day for over ten years I was plagued by music to a particular video game. It didn't help that at one apartment I lived in someone across the hall actually had that video game and played it loud enough I could hear it haha.
This has actually gotten a little better for me with treatment, along with some other tinnitus.

I also hear music but it is in the winter when the furnace is running. Fortunately I like the music.

Musical hallucinations are a fairly common Lyme thing, actually. Pretty sure Brian Fallon of Columbia has done some work on this. I hear music in my head constantly, but it is more like having a song stuck in my head, not an actual hallucination, though many of us have these too.

Expanding on what mini-monkey posted....
Dr. St in CA published on musical hallucinations in relationship to chronic Lyme.
I hear music when I wake up in the morning- as if I was listening to music during the night and woke up still listening to it, but I wasn't and had no music on at all.
I love it when it happens because it is associated with having a good day for some unknown reason. (????) In other words, on days I am going to feel better I hear the music.
But, I haven't heard it in a long, long time. Maybe some day.
