When you get mind noise, do you notice that you're also more buzzy than usual? The music loops have happened with me too, but I've also felt an emotional intensity during these times that's not normal, as if something gets triggered and the music loops act as a catharsis. One experience that stands out; a few years ago I happened upon a CD release of an album that I played a whole lot during my rather colorful youth in the late 60's. Hearing it triggered vivid memories I had misplaced for 30 years, and for the next few weeks I couldn't get bits and pieces of the songs out of my mind, looping over and over and getting louder and distorted sometimes and then like a droning hum other times. It was incessant and intrusive and had a deja vu quality. I liken it to a flash back, almost an auditory hallucination, it was so gripping. It brought back disturbing memories, but eventually it all played itself out, wound down and I emerged intact. I've had other wound up chattering loops but always accompanied by other weirdness, never out of the blue when I was feeling mentally healthy. - BarbaraCat
