Hearing some sounds but is it anything to do with projection?

    Hey guys over the past two weeks I have been reading up on OBE's and the AP. It has peaked my interest and I have been meditating daily and attempting to get a feel for my consciousness. The past couple nights I have had success in feeling new sensations such as a spinning sensation as if i was floating and spinning to my right side, also a heavy led blanket type feeling and also that of warmth and forgetting about my body.
    Last night I had one new thing happen. In my right ear i heard a consistent soft beat in my right ear. At the time I summed it up to be my pulse but have been wondering if it was more than that and if it being my pulse is even a valid claim. Could this have been an auditory perception or something? I am not the type to remember many dreams but in the morning I recall it being explained that the sound was the ticking of a clock and i can remember looking at a clock and hearing the sound.
    If you know what it could have been thanks for sharing, and any tips are appreciated as well, i am very to all this and your community here seems to be a great resource. Thanks in advance!
