I hope this helps. for beginner OOBEs

[The AlphaOmega]

This buzzing, as far as I know, isn't very useful as an exit technique.  However I have had this my whole life, and can hear it any time I listen, not just while attempting and OBE.  It can be VERY useful as a concentration excersize to help clear the mind.  While attempting an OBE, listen to the "buzzing" and try to make it louder and louder, almost too loud to stand (though you will be able to) and you can use this to focus on.  Like breath awareness, it helps focus the mind on one simple task.

Thank you mustard for mentioning the book by the author Ophiel. []

There are a number of additional good books on OBE/AP I'd like to mention. My belief is that it's a good idea to read as much as you can from a number of different authors so that you can compare your experiences to what you've read. Then, since we are a bit different in how we process these experiences, we tend to distill what we experience and read into a personal method of our own.

Some books that I have read and would recommend are as follows: Astral Dynamics by Robert Bruce; The Projection of the Astral Body by Sylvan Muldoon & Hereward Carrington; Journeys Out of the Body, Far Journeys, and Ultimate Journey by Robert Monroe; Adventures Beyond the Body and The Secret of the Soul by William Buhlman; Out of Body Experiences and Lessons Out of the Body by Robert Peterson; and Leaving the Body by Scott Rogo to name but a few.

Very best,

I would like to add to what The AlphaOmega mentioned above..
I have found that concentrating on the ringing in your ears is an amazing method.  However, I go a little step further and use the Triangle Method.. and many times this technique has induced amazing spinning sensations and "exit sensations" within minutes of me doing it.  (Provided my energy levels are sufficient)

The Triangle Method consists of, as stated above.. focusing on the ringing in BOTH of your ears.  You need to concentrate on both sides, and then focus on your "3rd eye".  (Brow Chakra)  You need to focus on all 3 of these things simultaneously to create a "Triangle".

Try it out, you may get interesting results!

After reading some topics about OOBE, I've noticed that alot
of you talk about buzzing sounds during astral projection. With
all the lucid dreams I had, and experiencing sleep paralysis I
deceided to check out a book about OOBE at my public library.
The author of the book talks about various techniques on how to
achieve OOBE. He explains that during seperation our mind tries to recreate some input from our sense of hearing and our subconscience
pics up static because our hearing sense cannot pass over to astral plain. So if you hear loud buzzing just ignore it, it's probably
static.
