Thunder in your head? (kbin.social)

A long while back I was hanging out with one of my sisters and she said that she hears thunder in her head when she gets startled.

Me: "Scuse me. What?"
Her: "You know. That thunder you hear when someone startles you."
Me: "Again. What?"
Her: "You don't hear thunder when someone startles you?"
Me: "Uh, no."
Her: "Oh. I thought that happened to everybody."

Is this a thing? Does this happen to anybody else out there? She did struggle with depression for much of her life. Could that have had something to do with it?

Doesn't sound the same, but I have the excellently named Exploding Head Syndrome. Could be something related?

Exploding head syndrome is gonna get me murdered in my bed some day. By this point I've learned to ignore the sound of my front door being kicked in.

I have experienced something similar whenever I enter a lucid dreaming state. Sounds like roaring static as my brain switches over from ear input to dream sound input.

Oooooh I also get this occasionally! It's absolutely terrifying, isn't it? Like somebody has hit the "reset" button for your brain..

Oh wow, I've never heard this was a thing other people experienced. I've had it for a while years and years ago, when I was under a lot of stress from my studies. The loudest, distorted synthesizer fog horn I've ever heard — and it was all in my head.
