yes but the thing is that this was a fully articulated musical piece where

all the instruments had differents parts and there was an overall harmonic

movment...implying that it wasn't a case of beat freq's creating a

pseudo-melodic phenomenon that I was interpreting as music...it was as if

my brain was creating a musical piece on the fly as stimulated by the many

hours being in a constant noise environment...I read somewhere that there

is a psycho-acoustic term for this...does anyone have any info on this? URL

perhaps?

hmmmm.... sometimes you can hear sound/music coming out of the headphone 
jacks on airplanes if nothing is hooked up to them--- if it had those 
air/pressure sound thing(there must be a name for this)  Of course, if it was 
the type with the standard mini-jack...well... nevermind.
