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?

As a general rule, spirits speak to when spoken to, or when something reminds them of their fondest memories. Essentially, they react to stimulus akin to that they experienced during their first existence. So, in an area like mine, where I live across the street from a graveyard, sometimes I'll say something or make a noise that sets them off and I'll hear them talking amongst themselves, or to me. Most of the time it's a minor inconvenience, but it is possible.

If you're completely silent, I kind of doubt they're spirits unless they desperately want to get their message heard.
