It's fun to imagine my own visuals for music based on them and sort of "project" that into the world while riding in a car. Visually, I am aware of movement, lines and textures. Apparently, this isn't something everyone can do, but I was able to teach my partner how to do it eventually. I learned how to control that muscle and can manually dilate my pupil a little. Which takes everything suddenly out of focus and causes some distortions in my actual vision. Feels great! Some deep bass causes my pupils to suddenly dilate. Sometimes I do the opposite and just let my body twitch all it wants to some music. I can stop the twitches with effort unless the sound is really loud. If music is loud enough it causes muscles in my body to twitch. It's more obvious if I focus on it, but it's always there. There are also patterns of various sensations I feel on my skin. The louder the sound, the stronger the sensation. Some sounds make it feel like whatever I'm standing/laying/sitting on is vibrating (with headphones). It basically feels like my body is a speaker. I feel sound as pressure throughout my body. I used to just think it was the sound or music actually hitting my body and my feeling that vibration, but I can feel my toes vibrating and tingling while wearing headphones. I just recently discovered that this isn't something everyone experiences.

No obligation, but before posting you might like to try out the Synesthesia Finder or look at this alphabetical list of types of synesthesia and other related phenomena: you might be surprised to find exactly what you experience. Auditory stimuli might cause a tingling sensation (sometimes discomforting), a localized pressure or tension, or, what some describe more. There are many different types of synesthesia and we discuss all of them on this sub. Auditory-tactile synesthesia (or hearing-touch synesthesia) is a rare sensory phenomenon where the affected individual experiences tactile sensations in response to sound. Probably around 4% of the world’s population are synesthetes: people with a neurological trait that enables them to enjoy additional perceptions in response to certain sensory or conceptual stimuli such as hearing sounds or music, tasting food or thinking of numbers or letters.
