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?

That’s what you sound like. Not just blood but your organs, gasses trapped inside you, your bodily processes at work. These sounds are always present but are drowned out or unfocused on because of all the stimulation of the outside world. But once there’s nothing left to distract you, you finally hear…yourself. And that’s when you realize silence will never truly exist for you.
