Hearing Motion

Imagine if words created a taste in your mouth, or music created bursts of color. This rare condition, called synesthesia, results in your senses being crossed. As this ScienCentral News video reports, researchers have now found people who "hear" motion. http://www.sciencentral.com/video/

i have this. it's annoying as hell. it does NOT make my life more interesting to have my own personal "soundtrack," it just makes repetitive gifs on a computer screen or silent movies really, really irritating.

@Kuzarkit and then as you are focusing on this other thing think of if you are hearing anything like those sound effects, but nothing that is accually happening. if you are doing something and noticing the sound of waves, look arround to see if anything is making that sound, and if not then you might have synesthesia

@Kuzarkit you are sensitive to proximity when you cant fall alseep, alot of people are, i am too. hearing sound effects like that from motion is a possible rare case of synesthesia, but likely imagination. try to smoke weed and then go do something like be in a moving car where there will be alot of motion, but dont focus on the motion, if you focus on something else while high u will be able to stay focused on that perticular thing, and that will keep you from noticing if you are seeing motion

IS DIS WHY, I CANT GO TO SLEEP WHEN OTHER PEOPLE ARE MOVING INTHE ROOM, AND I CANT THINK BECAUSE I SENSE OTHER PEOPLES ENERGIES AROUND ME. MOTION IS ENERGY AFTER ALL. IM TOO SENSITIVE . wHEN I GO OUTSIDE I JUST PRETTY MUCH IMAGINE HEARING A TREE FROM 50 FEET AWAY, BUT I CAN HEAR THE LEAVES RUSTLING AND IT GETS REALLY ANOYYING. AND I JUST CANT PAY ATTENTION FOR LONG BECAUSE IF THERES MOTION, IM HEARING IT, NOT IN MUSIC, LIKE NOTES, BUT IN SOUND EFFECTS (WAVES, CRASH, SWAY, SPLAT, RING RING, SWOOP

[roguewing10]

what about seeing sound? Like a computer visualizer for mp3s?

[GrittyMcCheese]

@kaizer310 Do you or anyone else know the reason for this? It happens to me and its a bright white flash accompanied by a simultaneous loud click or pop sound. It scary as fuck.

Does anyone know why this is?

If I see an animated .gif of Rick Astley I hear the Rick Roll in my head. I think that's to do with conditioning rather than synesthesia, though.
