I have a friend who thought she was weird as a kid because she didn’t hear the jazz music that her sz grandmother heard.
I have occasionally heard tunes and my voices have been known to spurt movie quotes at me.
Has anyone here heard music?

I’ve hallucinated music in the past pre meds. Was always surprised that other people didn’t hear it! It can happen!

All the damn time. Usually it’s quiet enough that it’s like sort of familiar but I can’t quite place it. Drives me crazy.

Wait like hearing it externally or like listening to a song you’ve already heard in your head? cause I can play a song in my head whenever I feel like, music and everything to it lol

Mine is external. Like, I’ll hear it through the walls so it’s faint but definitely there but I can’t quite make out lyrics or tune but it sounds familiar enough that if I just listen harder surely I’ll figure it out.

I hear music all the time I use it as inspiration for the music I make. Its kinda like I have my own soundtrack.

I only heard music once, it was pretty epic, way better than voices

Internally yeah. It’s not always music though. Sometimes it could be a random string of noises I hear on loop. Or a random phrase that has no meaning repeatedly. It can take hours for it to go away.
Think what’s happening to me is different then auditory hallucinations though. If anyone knows what it might be let me know.

@SailorTheFox59 I meant music in your head. I’ve heard disjointed circus like music
@Noise that is awesome!

I hallucinate music all of the time. My pdoc told me it is because I am a musician.

During my last period of psychosis, I couldn’t stop “Baby You’re a Rich Man” by the Beatles from playing in my head for days. Like the voices, it sounded like it was coming from the outside, but it wasn’t coming through my ears. It was like something or someone wanted me to hear those lyrics over and over, but they made no sense to me. In the same vein, there has been an occasional voice I hear when I’m psychotic that asks, “Where’s the money?” Except I don’t have any money. SZ is too weird.

When not on meds I hear background music pretty much all the time, its very soft and can barely hear it

I wake up with songs stuck in my head played in a loop all the time. voices interrupt the loop and loop interrupts the voices. and I am like this for the whole day.
I hallucinate music if I’m very very super stressed out.
But I hear it almost constantly inside my head

I used to hallucinate music pretty much constantly. I called it my theme music, I would spend hours just lying on my bed, listening to it play.
@valiumprincess, if your music doesn’t feel like a hallucination to you, it could be tinnitus. My husband has tinnitus, and it sometimes sounds like faint music playing in the distance on a loop. Other people hear voices whispering gibberish. Tinnitus is a physical problem with your inner ear, and you can take medicine to make it go away. But most people just sleep with a fan on, to drown out the noise.

I dont have Sz diagnosis, but have heard music. I still have break through hallucinations of music but not everyday. Sometimes not even every week.
I’ve heard a premiere song, a country song, it sounded like it was in a concert hall. Started slow, then built into a giant orchestra finale.
Was quite good, a lot of happy fans- couldn’t tell you who it was though.
I’ve heard the mummers dance play softly from within the walls of my room while 4 others slept in the room next to me. Thought it was a trick on me because it was a super long extended version I’d never heard before, and it looped for a few hours.
Sometimes it’s a very familiar song I hated, from years back, but played intentionally slower than normal dragging the misery on and on like it would never end.
And where would I be if I hadn’t experirnced the carnival ride tune cranking up from thin air right anove me as I rocked myself in boredom at 4AM on my back porch.
As it started up it got faster and louder, then ridiculously loud enough I yelled in the direction of the hated neighbors to cut thr crap and leave me alone.
Wouldn’t be so bad but my mom came pver to feed the cat’s while I was away one time, and while in the bathroom, said she heard this carnival music starting up- sounded like from up in the attic. She said someone is trying to gaslight me.
Nope it’s not faint, quite loud actually. I think it has to do with echolalia or some sort of sensory processing. Most likely has something to do with my autism.
