Could Hear Music In Air, But Not Able To Locate It. Would That Be Hallucinations ?

When I was younger late teens until into my thirties when I was very tired I could hear music in the air, but never locate where it came from. There sounds of instruments sounded distant and muffled but I could pick out different instruments, at the time I had no fillings in my teeth. I tried to block out the music but could not, only time made it fade until now I'm in my fifties and have not heard it in years. I tried to play the music with my guitar for years but never could capture it. I understand many musicians can hear the music. So, would that be a form of hallucination?

Hello, the sounds that you describe can be tinnitus. And even if it were hallucination were elementary and unstructured, not suggestive of any psychopathology but a result of fatigue. You should not worry about it now and concentrate on more important areas of your life.
