Does music from your stereo startle you?

My stereo is really starting to sound good to me but it startles me sometimes now. Not kidding, it makes me jump at times, and It's not something I think I particularly like. Most of the time, I like listening to music to relax and unwind, not to be startled and shocked. It will sometimes sound like someone has slammed a door in the house or that someone is actually talking, even when no one is home.

Have you guys experienced this too, or do I need to go back on my meds?

No B, I experience it too. Just today, before I could get back to my chair after putting an LP on, Roy Orbison just vocally jumped into the room and I turned my head. I often hear things unexpectedly and might ask a family member if they said something. Some songs have various insect sounds and I'm looking around the room for them. So, you're not crazy. Go ahead and send your meds to me!

You may or may not be crazy. And you may or may not be eligible for better living through chemistry. But yes, me too. And Grace Woodroofe, makes music, you may like her.

Welcome to my world. Since settling on what I have, I still can be startled after all this time. It can be quite unnerving as it shocks you out of your revery but that's the well appreciated price it takes to reassure myself that what I have is good enough.

For now.

Enjoy, and don't stop tinkering.

All the best,

However, if it happens when no music is playing, well, you know.

I find myself often times hitting the mute button,because I think I hear strange sounds or someone in the house. But it's coming from the system. I always attribute it to being in the sweet spot.
