I know it pretty common, so when it is silent or very quiet, there will just be a random ringing out of nowhere. Why?

It’s called tinnitus and is caused by being exposed to loud noises or head injuries, most commonly. But here: https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/tinnitus/symptoms-causes/syc-20350156
Mayo clinic does a good, in-depth job at explaining better.
