This is called objective tinnitus, which is quite rare as compared to subjective tinnitus.
With subjective tinnitus, only the patient can hear the sound.
Because of the bothering sounds, the patients may lose focus, which could be dangerous, especially during times when you need to concentrate.
At day time, tinnitus may come unnoticed because of other sounds present like television, radio, etc.
