in one of my peak experiences i experienced once the sound OM.
but now i am kind of experiencing a new kind of vibe at the third eye which was happening from a while back now but has turned very lucid these last few days especially this morning.
so i was wondering for those of you who hear the sound OM, do you really hear it as is or is it some sort of a lucid buzzing with clarity which happens at the third eye a bit before the point between the brows and a person can actually meditate on and if given a bit of attention can sound like an OM.
p.s: it’s smthg very different than the ringing in the ears (meditation induced tinitus)

Hi Ananda,
YSS of Yogananda, teaches an Om technique, which will result in your hearing the “Om” sound. I have just started the practice. If you are doing the same, I am very interested in learning what the sound is actually like. I understand it sounds like the roar of the ocean when you are near the seashore, It is also called a “symphony of many sounds” emanating from the chakras. Would be happy to hear your experience, and any tips.
Krish
hi krish,
yes it is close to hearing the roar of an ocean you may say but in a more lucid and stable way but i am not using any OM techniques just Yogani’s AYP and 247 self enquiry and mindfulness.
about the sounds i’ve heard a lot of them during and out of practice (birds, bells, flute, harp, angels singing, a sheikh praying…) but as i understood from what Yogani says in the lessons it’s just scenery coming from the opening of the heart center “anahata: unstruck sound.”
and the reason why i asked about this sound is bcz it’s really different and i can use it to go deeper or higher you may say but on the other hand it might be as well one of those scenery which come for a while then go so i am not doing too much clinging on it.
but i am positive that there are some around here who hear the OM sound, and if my memory serves me right maybe Katrine is one of them so if you are reading this katrine we would like it if you could chime in.
namaste,
Ananda
what is “meditation induced tinitus”?
thanks

Hi Ananda
The Om…yes…it is definitely connected with the Ajna…because when I was listening to it…the Ajna would throb…
Yet no…the way it is heard here it is not located anywhere…it simply permeats everything…it is all over the place…I can close my ears with the fingers…or not…the sound is exactly the same…and it is constant…the volume can vary here (now that there was overload it was an oceanic roar…yet still the same tone)…and how to describe the sound…hmmm…
It is alive…it is full…it is humming…and yet it is “still” as in constant…? …it is always the same …tone…yet that tone…contains all tones in it…this is a paradox…all the octaves in one note…it is not like this on a piano …lol…
Earlier…I now and then sang with it…intoning the sound I already heard…when I stopped singing…the whole room was ringing loud with it for quite a while…like bell waves of sound …this too was very powerful…but caused overload.
I don’t know Ananda…some has this as their meditation practice…but I know nothing of this…cannot advise you…all I know is the pull I felt …and the ecstacy increase when focusing on it…a few seconds was enough…because it caused overload I couldn’t do it much…which as it turned out was a blessing…
I stopped listening to it…
After the experience of being inside it…it felt unnecessary…since…what we are…the essence… is before it. Behind it…
And letting go into silence…the letting go of all…even that sound…seems to be what is.
And the OM is still heard here all the time.
Hi Ananda…Katrine…
This is my experience as well… I likened it to color in that it was like seeing all colors in one beautiful color…but with sound…all vibrations in one. I don’t hear it often though. I feel lucky when I do.
Love,
Carson

salute from Beirut to sweet Katrine and brother Carson, and thk you for you valuable add on.
your experience with it seems a lot more intense than mine Katrine, it seems to be an on and off thing in my case as i’ve noticed from yesterday.
kindest regards,
Ananda
I just read in a book on the paranormal today that there can be a sound like the one you described. It is not the OM but similar to the sound you hear when you put your ear against a sea shell. Perhaps you are picking up a psychic frequency of some kind?
hi gumpi, it’s a possibility.
but in all ways it seems like coming and going scenery nothing more nothing less and not the sound OM and down the road i guess that even OM, christ, muhamad, moses, krishna and all that stuff is just another ladder to step up and the EndGodTruth is simply put a never ending unknown.
light and love,
Ananda
I don’t know if it’s the OM I hear, or if it’s just a lot of buzzing energies, but often when I wake up in the morning or in the middle of the night, it’s a sound and vibration of a “motor” going, and it’s not able to locate anywhere. That motorsound can sometimes refine into a constant tone. I interpret it as OM by the following reason: On rare occasions when I have participated in group meditations where we have chanted the OM loud, this motor/tone that comes is the same that I hear in the mornings and nights. Ocassionally, I also have that tone going in the background during practices. Then it’s really difficult to stay with the mantra AYAM, because the OM is so much stronger and persistent… I then just have to remember to come back to the mantra and put it in the foreground somehow by mere attention and let the OM be in the background… Those periods when OM is present quickly leads into overload, so I have to self-pace a lot when it’s visiting. 
thanks ananda
Roll with it. It’s cool. Nothing special. The recent scenery.
thk you for sharing your experience with us emc; you’re welcome brother neil;and to mr. konchok i agree with you (just the recent scenery.)
love,
Ananda
This is my first posting here, but if anyone has a comment on this it would be greatly appreciated. Many times during meditation and at other times during the day (not in medtation) I will here the word Om, as if it is sang or spoken in a long never ending sound of Om. It is not the roaring of an ocean, but the continous spoken sound of Om. Has anyone else had this happen?
Jai Guru
Moderator note: Topic moved for better placement
i practice nada yoga many hours a day, so much that i hear the sounds all the time no matter what, in meditation or not. many sounds from earthly to heavenly, bells, drums, flutes with beatuiful flow like etheric water if that makes sense, very unreal, out of this world. starts at agya doorway then moves to the rooftops, heard in the right ear predominately sometimes both on occasion.
High above in the Lord’s mansion ringeth the transcendental music. But, alas, the unlucky hear Him not; They are in deep slumber
-Guru Nanak
In the center between the two eyes appears a shining winged moth. In the middle of the wings is an entry point. When you pierce that veil and enter within you will have crossed over to the land of eternal awakening and freedom. This world will bother you no more. You are liberated. Only those can enter this gate who have become perfect and have overcome relativities and qualities. When they enter the world of the Absolute they will never be separated from the Lord ever. There is the seat of eternal music, the music of the spheres. One who practices this sound principle gains entry into this kingdom
-Kabir
also read Nada Bindu Upanishad
some people say it comes from the root, others say manipur, others say it comes from the heart and others say it comes from the brain. i would have to agree that it comes from the brain, i didnt hear them until my 3rd eye awakened.
Hi CarsonZ,Katrine,Michaelangelo7Mysticone,Konchok,
Any tips on what practice will help me hear “om” fastest will be appreciated. At present, I am practicing SRF’s(Yogananda) Om technique for 20 mins. twice everyday. I believe it is an essential in the path to enlightenment.
Krish
still mind meditation will make u hear them, i recommend doing it at night, late at night if u can, much quieter then. no thoughts, something u mature into, cant be done by artificial means, i dont use any technique. some people say plugging the ears helps in the beginning to drown out outside noise, this makes sense because what u are doing is ignoring everything but the inner sounds
Hi krcqimpro1
I never practised to hear the OM…one day…about 9 years ago… it was suddenly heard…while walking outside. The space was singing it…
it was in the sky…for a few days…can’t remember now how many. I didn’t know back then…that it had a name 4 years later it was suddenly here during Deep Meditation. It has been here ever since.
The only practice I have been consistantly engaged in…for the past 24 years…is meditation. After app 4 years self-inquiry happened of itself. For the past 3+ years…the practice has been Spinal Breathing Pranayama, Deep Meditation, periods of Samyama, constant Self-inquiry and Self-pacing (I regard this as a practice of its own…it includes everything related to balance).
If listening to the OM…there would be overload immediately. After it was revealed that we are within the Om…the inclination to listen to it dropped away. So now it is only heard like all the rest of manifistation is heard. It became louder after this…as if it said yes to not being listened to 
What we are is that which is within
Deep Meditation coupled with engaging actively in Life is a beautiful combination.
The best of luck to you
