But I had a little panic when it was Billy Joel for the first 15 seconds.

    I wasn’t even given an option for sound, the guy told me the headphones were just for communicating. I just tanked 30 minutes in the tube with nothing but the sound of vibrations.

    Last time I went I could only choose between local radio stations. Unfortunately I spent the last 5 minutes listening to a news report about a murder victim being found in a ditch near the hospital. I think I’ll pick silence next time.

      Even though Second Bad Vilbel sounds like a CAT scan, I still love it

    I honestly cant remember what the sound was like in the first MRI I had.

    Had just broken and dislocated up my shoulder and they wanted it rotated out - up there with the most painful things ever experienced

    I usually ask for silence for the same reason, better to try just close eyes and meditate/dissociate through it. Was your head inside the machine? Pretty claustrophobic either way, but head first is particularly not nice.

      Well, no metal in there so it’s just piped in over air tubes like the old-school airline headphones. The speaker is at the outside end of the tube and the user just gets to hear whatever comes down that little rubber tube. They also give you a rubber ball to squeeze if you need to “press the button”.

      Interesting experience honestly, the headphones are definitely hearing protection and damn protective. I’m used to wearing hearpro and it was pretty damn loud. Operator told me it would sound like jackhammers but that’s not true. Voice from operator comes down the same pipe the music does, I had to actually parse what he said to me, it was like in a tunnel.
