Something Odd During Meditation And Concentration Options

When meditating there is a time where I try and focus on "sounds" in general. Now lately when I have gotten better with concentrating on these sounds and nothing else... there is a certain "level of hearing" which seems like a sharp beeping sound, almost like a different "Stage of hearing". This is very hard to explain. I do these meditations at 2am so everyone is sleeping, there are no sounds other than my breathing, but when I focus, I just hear this "beeping" sound. Now the thing is, when I focus on listening to this beeping "level of hearing" for a few minutes (4-7), my ears begin to feel a sharp pain and "close" in a sense. The first time this happened (3 nights ago), I was frightened and thought I was going deaf. Now the interesting thing is, when I keep listening to this "stage of sound" as if coming from another plane of existance, I realise hearing voices whsipering. I cannot make out the words the whispers say (but maybe this is because i've just begun hearing them).

Could this be my clairaudient "astral ears" hearing from another realm of existance? prattling of dead spirits? another spirit trying to tell me something?

Any ideas?

Beats the hell out of me, but I'd keep doing what you're doing and start taking notes. Does anything become clearer? Do you start to hear one specific sound that overrides all the others? Do images start appearing along with the sounds? These are all things I'd pay attention to if I were in your position.

Your theory is as good as mine...
