About 8 or 9 years ago, I purchased a white noise sound machine. I have been a flight attendant for some time and became addicted to the sound. It worked wonderfully and I always slept through cars honking, drunk hotel guests and doors slamming. When we moved to the home we live in now, I used it and, again, slept through the night and always awoke refreshed. One night, when my husband was out of town, I turned the sound machine on and got ready for bed. While in bed, I was almost asleep when I was brought to full consciousness by the sound of clinking glasses, the sound of sliverware on plates and the murmur of people talking. I was immediately full-on awake and frozen. I turned on the light and pulled the plug on the sound machine so as to better hear the noise. It immediately ceased. I recognized in complete horror that the sounds were coming from my white noise machine. I lay back down and didn't go to sleep for a long time, straining to hear any more noises. There were none and I finally went to sleep.
About 6 months later, I had calmed down enough to plug in the machine and get ready for bed. I laid down and kept my eyes open in the dark. The noise slowly eased in and I could not only hear the same restaurant style noises but could hear music playing. It sounded similar to the music you hear on Little Rascals. I could also hear women's voices murmuring and couldn't make out what they were saying. I waited several minutes and couldn't take it anymore. I unplugged the machine and the noises immediately stopped.
The next day, I emailed a paranormal society and about a week later, I received an email from someone within 50 miles of me. I immediately called her and she was very receptive to getting the sound machine. I just wanted it gone.
So, within 2 weeks of getting it, she has excitedly reported hearing women singing and music playing.
Now, I think it is pretty cool. When it was in my house, not so much.

Did she say what was causing the weird noises?

That's fascinating, Mia. Your white noise machine (and the strange sounds you heard from it) reminds me of certain long nights I spent out in the field when I was in the Army. My job was somewhat unusual - I was a tactical single channel radio operator, a fancy term for for a combat communications guy in the thick of things in a war zone. I would sometimes pull 24 hour shifts of duty...but the really weird things would happen in the early hours of the morning, usually between midnight and 3 a.m. My radio system was very strange by modern standards. I operated a veritable relic of a radio, called the AN/GRC-106. It was a vacuum tube military AM radio built in the late 1950s, and it emitted very powerful electromagnetic field while it was in operation. That field was powerful enough to scramble (and effectively ruin) a digital watch if it was too close to the radio while it was being tuned. That happened to me once - I forgot to remove my favorite digital watch from my wrist while I was tuning the radio...so it ruined it. Here's an image of the radio: Here's a short youtube video of a guy running that radio: Sunspot activity could affect this radio and the transmissions. But there were times when I would encounter some very strange stuff...stuff I couldn't explain as encoded transmissions, or even transmissions from people. It was very, very weird...it kept me up on my shifts, making me wonder what the hell was going on. That radio was weird...and as I said, it emitted a powerful electromagnetic field.

Years back when CB radios were the in 'thing' before sunspots sort of ruined the game..you could hear some pretty odd stuff late at night, same with the reports from HAM radio operators. There was a guy we all knew who was an operator who died of a heart attack I think it was..couple of nights later..several people heard his call sign clear as a bell in his very distinct voice. Maybe air waves 'trap' voices and noises in some manner, I don't know but it's interesting to say the least

Yea, radios and TVs pick up strange things sometimes...
Thanks for sharing the story with us Mia! I wonder if the machine somehow connected to an old black and white movie... or possibly ghosts in another dimention? Hmmm... the possibilities are mind boggling and thought provoking indeed...

Maybe air waves 'trap' voices and noises in some manner, I don't know but it's interesting to say the least Hehe, if folks only knew the half of it. Radio is a strange and sometimes bizarre realm. It certainly mystified me, despite being trained and familiar with theory and application. Radio waves can do weird things. I'll never forget the aerial antenna I set up in the Yakima mountains during my third field exercise with the 9th Infantry Division. I was pulling an all-nighter in my radio shelter (my team mate was sitting in the command tent manning the commo center next to a heater, the lucky dog), which was usually when the truly odd stuff started occurring. Close to 2 a.m., I began to hear what I thought was a slavic language broadcast bleeding over on our frequency. I re-tuned the GRC-106 a few steps to see if I could catch it...and I managed to capture it loud and clear. I dragged my platoon sergeant out of his sleeping bag to listen to it (it could have intelligence value, after all...the Soviet Union was still alive and kicking back then). After listening to it, he called the battalion executive officer in to see what he could make of it (he spoke Russian). After he arrived, we all sat listening until it ended abruptly, exactly at 3 a.m. The XO couldn't make sense of it...but he suspected that I might be picking up something from across the Bering Sea. If that was true, then my antenna was picking up a broadcast from thousands of miles away. It wasn't supposed to...but sometimes, it could.

I know radio signals 'bounce' so ham picks up all sorts of stuff..it was always fun listening to some foreign something or other Maybe it was 'alien' LOL

I have looked online for white noise machines and found there were others who have had similar incidents. All I know is what I heard. I was truly upset when this happened to me, not just once, but twice. Admittedly, I am relieved that the lady with the paranormal society has heard some of what I was hearing. She is pretty excited about it and leaves it plugged in all night, hoping to hear more. When I was hearing the sounds both times, it was exactly like being in a diner, hearing the clinking of silverware against plates or the sound of glass. I heard what I believe to be 2 women speaking in very low tones and it was during the second event that I heard the music. It sounded like a record heard on an old phonograph and to me, it sounded like music from The Little Rascals era. Very much along the lines of these samples from amazon- not exactly like this but more like it than anything else I heard. And the music was more in the background, not overpowering the other noises. www.amazon.com/gp/recsradio/radio/B000005YQ7/ref=pd_krex_listen_dp_img?ie=UTF8&refTagSuffix=dp_imgHere is a link to a sound machine almost identical to the one I sent away. www.amazon.com/Marpac-SleepMate-980A-Electro-Mechanical-Conditioner/dp/B000KUHFGM

It would be inteteresting to hear them.

Gee thanks, BW. You're trying to knock me out ;D . I sure needed the "code" for an unrepairable unit. . . .You must have every phone number you've ever known stuck in that head of yours somewhere, and all someone has to do is mention a name. I want your "take" on "folks don't know the half of it". (when I got rid of my sarcasm, I now know where it went ;0 )

I'm curious to know how a white noise machine can produce sounds like human voices? From what I read about them they either produce noise electronically or from a recording of other types of sounds. If the unit is electronic there shouldn't be any weird noises showing up on it. How can it make weird noises?

The machine is not 'making weird noises'. It seems to be acting like a microphone or speaker for sounds coming from somewhere else. I posted a link for you to see what the machine looks like and the only sound that is supposed to come from it is a whooshing sound that masks other noises. And that is what happened for the first 8 or 9 years that I owned it.

This has nothing to do with the sound machine incident but happened not far from where the house is so I thought I would post it here.
About 3 months ago, hubby needed my help to hold our goats while he trimmed their hooves. We went out to the pasture and called the goats. They came running and I coaxed one over with a saltine cracker. I lowered myself to a squatting position and was holding her when I felt something push into me so strongly that I lost my balance. It took about 3 seconds and was like some solid mass firmly shoved against my back and, seeing all our goats scattered in front of me, I knew it wasn't them so I asked my husband- who was in front of me- did you just bump into me? He looked at me like I had sprouted another head. I got to my feet and looked all around, not wanting to believe what happened but nothing was there. I could still feel where something had made contact from my shoulder blades all the way down.
All I could do was to just look around. Nothing was there. There had been some Civil War battles fought not far from where we were and possibly on our farm. I just don't know what it was.

Wow... that's spooky mia... I remember one night when I was about 12 years old I had just gotten out of the shower and I was walking down the hallway back to my bedroom (wrapped in a towel) and there was a short shimmery figure running down the hallway towards me, and it shoved me over and I almost fell onto the floor... it was the only time anything like that had ever happened to me in this house... Definitely spooky...

I posted a link for you to see what the machine looks like and the only sound that is supposed to come from it is a whooshing sound that masks other noises. And that is what happened for the first 8 or 9 years that I owned it. Similar things are reported in EVP experiments. It seems that the Human brain (very high bandwidth pattern matching 'processor') apparently can 'decypher' information that is quantum entangled in the white-noise 'chaos' (Brownian Noise).
Another way to realize this, is to review the interface strategy developed by various psi-investigators using Random-Event-Generators they developed (used to test psychic's ability to predict a randomly generated number) and later developed 'uREGs'. These folks discovered how to interface white-noise statistically into the digital/time-domain to decouple Human consciousness from the analysis process. One example is the "MindSong", a two-channel research uREG developed (mostly) by J. Bradish with some input by R. Nelson (& some of the PEARLab crew).
Technical Stuff you can skip over...
There are other chaos psi-sensor interfaces available, using different semiconductor 'white-noise' generators. These REGs are being used in various strategies, most are classified at this juncture, however, one experiment remains openly accessible to the interested public. It is the experiment developed by Roger Nelson (multiple Ph.D. PSI scientist) and pals. The experiment is called the Global Consciousness Project, in which Dr. Nelson and crew have deployed, (last I checked), around 40 MindSongs uREGs distributed around the world. The data is collected and analyzed at a central location. The psi-sensor system regularly 'predicts' or rather, gives early alarm annunciation of significant events BEFORE they transpire...happen, using statistical computer algorythms to pre-detect the temporal presponse wave generated by the event along the Small-Face Consciousness time-line.
See: noosphere.princeton.edu/index.html
The MindSong Sensor is essentially a two channel white-noise generator which has a serial-port output.
Each channel consists of: reverse biased bob Josephson (quantum physicist, his invention, is the fabric of modern electronics) Field-Effect-Transistor, reverse-biasing the FET drives apart the band-gap, amplify Brownian Noise up out of the DC noise-floor, hard-limit (via Schmit Trigger...Pink, 12 dB roll-off), temporalize white-noise thru clocking it via counter, shift out serialized count via UART into PC for statistical analysis.
Continue here... Put another way, the MindSong is a psi-sensor which relies on white-noise as the Chaos Aleph interface into the One Tree-Of-Life Small-Face Consciousness which is everywhere. Kewl huh? Humans do the same thing, only we 'hear' voices which are aliased via pattern matching afforded by our brain's processing of our stored knowledge-base. The individual's knowledge-base is the reason two people hear different things when exposed to the same chaos-sounds. While computers introduce a different bias problem, once the representation of chaos is in the digital domain, the bias can be filtered-out. This stuff is truly interesting. Its really a trip when ya realize, that all the information in Mind is accessible in the RANDOM NOISE!!!

I don't use a white noise machine but I do use several binaural recordings alpha, gamma and theta mostly but I've found that it really sharpens and triggers my mental self. Slips me right into a very receptive state. That's really interesting Mia..I haven't ever been clobbered by something invisible but I have read other mentions of it. Either running into something unseen or being 'shoved' by such. Did any of your goats seem to react to a presence?

Also, around the same time, something happened that I actually videotaped. This was probably within the same week and hubby and I didn't know what to make of it.
I was inside washing dishes and I heard some cawing/squawking. This lasted for a few minutes so I went outside to see what was making that noise. There were some kinds of birds, dozens of them, that were flying in a circle almost above our house. They were a ways up in the air but this lasted for about 10 minutes and they stayed in the circle. I have it on my iphone and tried to email it to my dad but it was too big. If anyone can walk me through posting it, I will. Other birds would join in and they stayed in the circle. They seemed to start to break away but then they started again and flew in a circle. They were not geese nor ducks. We couldn't figure out what kind of birds they were. Maybe this is nothing but no one had ever seen anything like that. My mother-in-law has been on this farm for over 60 years and she was floored as to what was happening. If anyone has seen anything like this, please respond. It was pretty amazing but I am at the point where I just have to shrug at everything strange that has been going on.

I don't recall ever seeing birds do that but I have seen fish do it. Once while I was scuba diving I saw a big "tornado" of fish...they were swimming around in what looked like a funnel cloud, thin at the bottom and wider at the top...and they just kept circling and circling and circling... I swam up so close to them that I could have reached out and touched them. They didn't even seem to know that I was there.

Strange... I don't think I've ever seen birds circle overhead... unless it's like a buzzard or a raven circling over a potential meal... hmmmm...

Maybe it's connected in some way with the odd weather patterns and the odd noises people are hearing. It might have some confusing effect on birds and other critters ..maybe

Hi all! mia - thank you for this thread - it is most interesting !!. It must have been quite disconcerting having those extraneous sounds filtering through, if not even quite a scary experience !! I'm glad for you that anything negative with it seems to have ceased, but hope that the other things such as the birds are not now disconcerting for you. The one thing that kept my single useful brain cell occupied whilst reading this thread was that I've come across some of this kind of stuff before (I know, big surprise in this field ;D ;D !!). What sprang to my mind was a book written by John G. Fuller called 'The Ghost of 29 Megacycles'. This book deals with brain waves occurring at death and how they may get caught in radio waves. Below is a review of the book from Amazon - it's not my words, but seems quite to the point from what I remember of the book (it's on a shelf collecting dust above my wife's head at the moment & she's doing her farm on fb, so best not disturbed ;D ;D !!): A book I will recommend to anyone interested in issues such as the paranormal, life after death, as well as those interested in 'other worldy dimensions' etc. It could easily be perceived as being the kind of book that proposes nonsense and is full of silly superstition etc. However, this is not the case. It's a thorough history of a respectable, sincere scientist whose experiments and efforts (along with other respectable scientists' work) lead to the conclusion that life after death does exist and the shocking conclusion that it's possible to communicate with those who have 'crossed over'. This book literally blew me away. It left me questioning everything I had previously thought. What's more, after some further investigation on the old internet I discovered more progress in this field had been made with even more shocking conclusions. Videos and photos sent from the 'other side'! Mind-blowing. While some readers will inevitably dismiss the whole notion as preposterous I suggest keeping an open mind and reading the book first. You don't have an entire conference of world class scientists and Nobel prize winners going on record as having evidence of life after death unless they are absolutely convinced first and willing to stake their reputations on it. I can't understand why this book, and George Meek's quest contained within it, hasn't generated huge public awareness. I consider it a brilliant read and worthy of every penny spent. I plan to buy more copies as gifts for friends. Also, George Meek (whose quest the book focuses on) was clearly driven only by a desire to enlighten humankind and release them from the anguish of assuming death is the end. I hope that his efforts, and this book, do not go unnoticed.I think I'm going to enjoy a sojourn into this area for a while ! TTFN! Take care, seek peace and SMILE! Charles
