No, it's some else's dang cell phone.
Actually, assuming no ear damage, it's possibly the sounds of your own body reaching your ear through your body tissues. It takes different forms of sound, sometimes ringing (actually its gurgling), sometimes "static". If its voices, that's a different problem!

The "white noise" you hear is actually coming from within your own body...you are hearing blood circulation, etc. which telegraphs to your inner ear through contact with bone, etc., and the inner ear picks it up. Thus, you can never totally hear "nothing" as long as you have a working inner ear structure and your heart is still beating, as witnessed by the legally deaf poster above who still "hears" the rushing/whooshing noise. Hope this info helped somewhat.

Yes I have noticed! I have technically been deaf for 6 years but I "hear" an almost constant ring, it's a lot like rushing water.

I have noticed I get that ring when I cross Electro-magnetic fields like the security system at a department store or drive under high voltage lines.

Leuroth, it's called a telephone, or "phone" for short, unless you're in Merrie Olde England, where the primitive natives call it a "Hooter", (not to be confused with our 100% American Hooters)

No, it's tinnitus. A medical condition for "ringing in the ears."
