I can hear silent movement...

[wyatt259]

um,
not sure how to start this but i have been dealing with a strange adaption since i was little. for some reason or another i can hear people move...i can hear someone in the other room move but it's not exactly a sound it's morally a stillness and an eerie high frequency consistant sound i used to think everyone heard it but now i'm becoming doubtful, it's not just people it's any kind of movement animals, wind, pests electronics also interfere constant high frequency whining. maybe i'm just being too worrysome but it's getting worse or better depending on how you look at it. the other day i was in my bed room and heard a mouse run across the floor in the hallway there was no distinctive noise just a stillness that blocked out everything else. i know it was a mouse because as soon as i heard it i looked and saw it, and again no actual noise i can hear my family's movements before they're within 40 ft of me. i don't have to look at someone to know they're there.sometimes if someone is close enough 10ft or so and not moving i can still hear the stillness i say it's gotten more developed because i can automatically know which vicnity of the room the thing is as soon as i hear the stillness. i can also hear noises from far away voices of distant people.i'm just nervous it's a problem. is this normal? is this normal i'm starting to wonder if it's just my hearing becoming degenerative...

I can hear something similar to that, if, say, my bedroom door is open my cat could be at the end of the hall and there's a disruption in the sound coming from there. It'll get suddenly slightly softer.

I find this fascinating. I hope you guys can find each other. It is striking that you are sensing the same "silent noise".

I have the same problem!  I'm 16 years old, I began to experience this when I was just a child but I started to pay attention to this just recently. It's also not the sound that I hear first but the silence/stillness that seems to louden whenever something is coming near me or moving around me (then after that just comes the real sound/noise of an object moving). Aside from hearing and seeing things normally like any of us, I also would know something is coming near me when I hear quietness which i call the "silent noise". It's an unusual silence that seems to block other sounds around me. It also sounds high pitched, but not the high pitch you imagine, it doesn't  sound like a high note but the silence of the "silent noise" itself becomes intense. I don't know how to explain this intensity/high pitch thing but if you are experiencing the same, you'll get what I'm saying. I would know if my friends are going to jump scare me from my back because i hear the "silent noise" that their movements produce.  There were also frequent times when i fall half asleep waiting for someone but i know it when i need to wake up because i know they're coming just by hearing the "silent noise".And when this happens, people wouldn't think that I've fallen asleep while waiting for them because I'm awake before they arrived near me (yes, I hear the "silent noise" even when they're several feet away from m, which also becomes more intense/louder as they come near me.) I'm really glad to know that I found this post because I've looked up for other stories about this condition but none of those described what I have been experiencing. Don't be confused people, I hear sounds, my ears are fine, I'm not mute or deaf or anything, i'm just curious of what is this strange thing that I have been experiencing. I really want to know. If there's somebody here who knows what this condition is called, please leave a reply here.

so it's a unique ability other than a "PROBLEM"?
it does help alot of the time.
i've never been caught off guard by anything.
thank you for the information it was very helpful i will continue to search for other people with the same ability and hopefully i can find out some more info
once again thanks

That is absolutely fascinating.  I am sure there is a website out in computer land where a small group of people who have highly sensitive hearing support each other.  See, there is another group of people with low-frequency hearing sensitivities that I found out about less than ten years ago.  

Various doctors were treating patients who heard a low rumble sound, it was driving them nuts, so by passing around the stories via journals and the internet, they found a commonality within a selected group, from all over the United States.  One doc even took his patient down into a cave, with solid rock all around them, and the person could still hear the sound.  TURNS OUT it is submarines off coastal U.S. whose sonars made that noise, and these people who could pick up low frequencies could hear it!  Those folks were some kind of glad to find each other.

There is another story I found out about, which is fairly common, but only amongst those whose vision is gone.  They can sense the location of buildings, people, and so forth, by making a clicking noise with their throat, and the way it bounces off objects is how they can tell how tall something is, how close something is, even where the curb is next to a sidewalk, and they can literally walk anywhere they want to go, within reason, without falling down or running into anything!  They can even identify a lot of stuff.

Anyhow, I think you are able to hear at frequencies that nearly everyone else does not hear.  The submarine people, when that sonar sound went off, that dominated ALL other sounds they could hear.  I'm thinking the quiet you hear is when that out-of-normal-range frequency sound comes through, it also dominates, so you don't hear anything else, thus everything gets quiet.

I think if you Google with the word "frequency" amongst your other choices of words, you might find a few websites that talk about these things, and maybe it will eventually lead you to an organized group that hears that stuff.  AND if not, why, you can organize one yourself, and hopefully you will reach others who are in the same boat.  Matter of fact, if it's a particularly useful "ability" you have, could be that down the line some government detective group might want you to help them out.

And I hope someone who visits this forum might actually share your sense of hearing, which would get this research ball rolling a little faster for you.  I just happen to know a lot of useless information that stays with me, because I'm story-oriented, as well as several other specialized ways of thinking, to include visual memory, where I don't forget stuff.
