What is this? Med-induced? Like listening to a field of crickets and a pond full of bullfrogs when I'm trying to go to sleep. Only when I put my head down on the pillow though. I think I'm losing it.

Not sure what you're describing. Is it auditory hallucination? Thought process? Or are you talking about an amplification of/sensitivity to the noises you normally hear outside?

had a period when the muscular stress in my neck was manifesting as sounds
doctor prescribed muscle relaxers that i only took at night
but there is also a static of sort that goes with my anxiety at times
are you tossing and turning?

Monkey brain? Thinking about all too many things, rather than relaxing into sleep? If that's what you're experiencing, I've been there, too. NOT a very pleasant landscape, especially if you have to get up in the morning.
I've had some luck with telling myself stories to put myself to sleep. I make my own little movie, and play it in my head -- day-dream, fantasy, whatever. Or, I will read until I'm relaxed enough to sleep. Those are the things that work for me.
Good luck.
