I get this from time to time when falling asleep. It’s really annoying when it happens. Like I’ll be dozing off and then there will be this loud-ass noise.
I’ve experienced this, or at least something that very closely fits its description, a couple times in the past, and it varies on a case-by-case basis. One time it was almost like the sound of glass breaking, I think one time might’ve been closer to a door slamming. Weird shit.
And, same deal as the other fella, hard to remember the specifics 'cause you’re sorta half-asleep when it happens.
For me it is a popping sound, a bit like the sound of popping your ears during an altitude change, but way, way louder. It would be impossible to mistake for a noise caused by something IRL, it sounds like that blood rushing into your ears sound for me.
I hear a loud bang as if from another room. Like a trash can falling over, or a someone dropping a bag with about 10lbs on a hardwood floor, or a pushing a wooden chair into a dining table too hard. It’s enough to think “what just fell?!”.
It does not sound like a door closing, or stomping, or something fragile moving or falling.
I startle awake, realize I’m the only one awake, and that there aren’t anymore sounds so it must have been my brain and I pass out fully.
It’s pretty strange and I think it’s funny how I never really thought about it until now.
Like most people, it changes. For me it is like someone took the volume knob on the world and maxed it out for half a second. Just a blip of every sound in the room suddenly being set to 11. Sometimes it is like someone yelling in my ear, but just a grunt or a scream like they fell over.

How would you describe the sound?

Do you happen to live in an old haunted house?
Have you seen the housing market? Sometimes you have to deal with a roommates bad habits, even if he is a spirit.
At least he doesn’t leave dishes in the sink.
Yeah, is it like the Inception sound?
No, more like that one video with the Polish dudes lighting a trash can cannon in the street. At least for me.
Edit: Fucking thing also jolts me awake sometimes so it takes me a couple seconds to determine that no, in fact the building is not crumbling down.
Yeeeeep, looked that up and that scans for most of my exploding head episodes.

Mine sounds like a big commotion, like a bunch of metal sculptures falling off a table. Luckily it doesn’t happen often.
