Fizzing sound in neck

Hi, for about a year now i have had this fizzing sound in my neck that occurs randomly, usually when i am just laying down. It doesnt occur when i am moving my head or anything, its usually just when i sitting still or laying down. It sounds like it is coming directly from the back of my neck and is starting to worry me. I also experience these weird pains in my head that come for about a second and then go and come back again every 10minutes or so. These pains are in 1 area in the back of my head in about a 1 square inch area.. Any ideas???

Hi Guys,

This is so weird and again seems like everyone I know doesn't get it and laughs when I try to explain it. Fizzing sound is actually probably a good way to explain it.

Want to share a couple of common things we may do.

It doesn't hurt neither do I get headaches, I can get it when I walk, lay down or sit down. I get it sometimes when I'm hungry and I smoke.

Sometimes I wonder if its the Matrix downloading up to date information about us lol. Its more like the noise of old dial up at the back of my head for a couple of seconds then goes and I wait to hear it back again which could be hours, days or weeks.

Sometimes I think it could be in relation to a little problem I had when I was little... randomly if I thought if I moved my head too fast I would get an enormous pain (like a burn feeling) in the side of my neck which would gradually go away and it would be a good long while till I got it again.

Random but don't think it's an medical problem, just seems like some of us hear it and a lot of others don't.

Take Care.

Thanks so much for the explanation....makes the most sense thus far!
Did he say there is a way to stop it? Can it become a problem?

Hi. I am 16 & I have had the same probably for years. I honestly thought that there was something wrong with me. I'm glad to see that I am not the only one in this problem. But I have yet to find out what is behind the fizz like sounds. My theory is that it has something to do with like the trigger of stomach growling but at the neck and that maybe it occurs with abnormal eaters. Well, people who eat at abnormal times, & long distances away from each other. Let me know if you find something! L.
