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?

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.

Rok2id, sometimes I wish I had a remote with mute. Then I wouldn't have to get up to find the scary sounds. ;)

You may want to switch to decaf as a first step. Some of the many sedatives, while effective , are also addictive.

Lol Mechans, I am a coffee drinker and you're statement might actually contain some truth.

Back to the post, what causes induce being startled, besides coffee? Attack? Transients? It's funny, but even when I am expecting a new song to start, and am prepared for it, it can still startle me; usually music that opens with drums.
