Ok, so if you're inside your home, and you hear the buzzing, can you go unplug your AC and check if you heart it again after?
Some ACs if not all of them - when on idle - or just plugged - not when working ofc - they make this buzzing sound that really resembles tinnitus.
Also check your blood pressure while at it...

That'll explain why my Mum would say "is that wedding bells I hear" every time I brought a girl home.

One of the earliest anechoic chambers was designed and built by Leo Beranek and Harvey Sleeper in 1943. Their design is the one upon which most modern anechoic chambers is based. In a lecture titled ‘Indeterminacy,’ the avant-garde composer John Cage described his experience when he visited Beranek’s chamber.
“in that silent room, I heard two sounds, one high and one low. Afterward I asked the engineer in charge why, if the room was so silent, I had heard two sounds... He said, ‘The high one was your nervous system in operation. The low one was your blood in circulation.’”
After that visit, he composed his famous work entitled 4’33”, consisting solely of silence and intended to encourage the audience to focus on the ambient sounds in the listening environment.
In his 1961 book ‘Silence,’ Cage expanded on the implications of his experience in the anechoic chamber. “Try as we might to make silence, we cannot... Until I die there will be sounds. And they will continue following my death. One need not fear about the future of music.”
Good ol' story about John Cage and non-silence

I was born with a heart murmur, so I've had pulsatile tinnitus my entire life. I also have your standard grade tinnitus from going to so many shows.
@NonEntity's post, I only started noticing it when I saw the thread was bumped. It is my silence.

Do you blast the music a lot?

Reginald Denny, the guy who was badly assaulted from the LA riots was hit on the side of the head pretty bad and said he constantly hear's a loud ringing on one of his ears.

I use to walk across a bridge going to work for several months, and I would blast my in ear headphones at top volume. I developed mild tinnitus from it.

Not strictly related to tinnitus but interesting none the less. An old Serbian guy who makes some amazing ambient / drone music
"Upon taking retirement from a job at a factory which he held for decades, Mogard craved the mechanical noise and complex harmonics of the industrial workplace, and found that the best way to fulfil that need was through electronic music - using a limited set-up of Farfisa organs, voices, samplers and a self-built modular system"

Ringing in my right ear is driving me nutz lately. Got a pair of flareaudio calmer ear buds after reading some unexpected good results from people with tinnitus. I've worn them a few days a few hours each time. If anything I feel calmer due to the way it filters noise. They helped a little so far. I'll fkn try anything at this point. X(
