Two ways to see it, some will suggest they're completely separate, I prefer to think they're interchangable and basically the same phenomenon. The first is that part of that state of mind involves auditory hallucinations, and most people hear their name called, among other things, as well as 'random' vocalizations - people report singing, 'gibberish', ghostly humming or wailing, as well as other sounds like gunshots, popping, bells; I imagine anything is possible. I heard an elephant once.
The other view is that as your mind opens, you're also opening yourself to a torrent of psychic information at first - the two most 'loud' streams being sight and sound. The physical brain, unable to handle that information properly - it requires a non-physical level of consciousness to properly separate and interpret those streams, and that's something you get a handle on once you successfully begin to navigate those states, quite naturally - jumbles it up together and you hear, see, and sometimes smell, taste, and feel tactile sensations that are basically just elements of the psychic field that exists throughout the world - and presumably the rest of the universe as well at a higher level; those sensations, as I hear it, defy explanation or reason. Not there yet personally.
Reconciling the two views is not difficult, and in my opinion is the more appropriate approach - we are both physical, psychic, and spiritual beings, and all of those parts play a role in everything we experience.
For now, don't put a lot of stock into those sensations, they're distractions. Let them happen, pass, and move on - later, they'll be more distinct and you'll be able to understand them, and then they will be of value. For now, observe objectively, but don't get distracted or you'll postpone the experience of leaving fully.
