I don’t think it’s tinnitus though all the Google results I got were about it. Last night my partner and I went out into the desert to stargaze, and when there were no cars nearby, we both experienced a constant quiet noise. It’s a hard noise to describe–not a ringing or a whooshing noise, but almost a pulsating kind of noise. Is it the sound of blood going through your ears? Brain making up noises to fill the gaps?

In addition to fluids (blood, air, gut gasses) moving in your body, I understand you eventually ‘hear’ the air molecules bouncing against your eardrums (as noise).
Apparently the quietest places on earth (the really-really quiet anechoic chambers) haven’t had anyone able to tolerate staying in one for more than 45 minutes.
