Hey travellers, I'm getting a REALLY loud ringing in my ears immediately when the DMT hits, to the point that I can barely enjoy the experience. I don't even have tinnitus or any ear problems, and it's happening with even with small doses. Anyone else experienced this?

Anyone experienced loud ringing in ears when tripping?

That's a fundamental element of the DMT experience that is frequently reported and has earned the term "carrier wave". IME it grows louder until it suddenly gets lost in the transition of breaking through. Small doses might be worse since you don't make it out of your head.
Crack cocaine is another smoked freebase drug that users associate with ringing. I wonder if there's a connection.
Freebase DMT is a one of a kind plateau, but if you're not trying to go all the way and the ringing is understandably unenjoyable, I'd recommend pharmahuasca. The oral route lasts 3-5 hours and is arguably a better way to use it, not just for lack of ringing.

I have Tinnitus in one ear and I always play music in the room when having a session, so far I have never noticed a carrier wave or sound in my Trips, I'm guessing the music and my tinnitus are blocking it out.
This ringing sound comes more easily with vaped DMT, so I think it's dependent on fast absorption into your system. I've had it only a few times with oral brews, and it's a sign of an extremely strong journey then. Those sessions were the strongest and on the verge of overdose for me.
I did read about people describing the carrier wave, but none sounded like my experiences with the ringing being so intense it's literally painful. But good to know that in a breakthrough it stops, that is exactly what I was hoping to hear! Thank you!
Edit: About the crack cocaine which I've never tried, but could it have something to do with elevated BP, which could be causing the temporary tinnitus
I suspect that too, I'm doing mesh vape and it's incredibly potent and quick, thank you for sharing your experience

Could be, and/or anxiety. My first couple of NN-DMT produced a good deal of anxiety and physical reaction. Past breakthrough, if there is ringing, in who's ears?
I did find that the anxiety disappeared after the first few trips, once I realised I wasn't going to die.
if itt kinda gets louder and louder until it evolves into something like an explosion, gunshot, or the booming voice of god yelling something at you that is totally incomprehensible and you cant name a single syllable despite it clearly feeling like some short concise thing one might angrily yell into someone elses ear, if any of these apply either while tripping or just trying to go to sleep, you have exploding head syndrome, it is related to sleep paralysis, its also a comorbidity of adhd+autism combination but it usually requires some triggers or altered mental state. For me, its large amounts of theobromine, which a crazy preacher from this native american psychedelic church had warned me about several years prior, i still think they are a nut, but the pages and pages of, almost seemingly chatGPT on demand, gospel and preaching they would post about communion with the spirit molecule, has stood the test of time and experience, and i personally laughed them off with the notion that chocolate is evil according to the machine elves, something that came out of nowhere but seemingly their own butt, but maybe the machine elves meant for me to have that information, that theobromine isnt bad for all people, its just bad for me. Back then i could indulge a lot, but now, having just 2 or 3 bars of my favourite belgian hazelnut cream ferrero chocolate, causes a 1-time psychedelic horror event like an anti-come-up if i try to meditate or lay in bed and sleep, usually within 2-3 minutes.
This now includes many instances of exploding head syndrome, an alien abduction, a remote projection of the great wall of china which was covered in corpses reaching out to me (i realized next day the great wall is full of dead bodies of slaves and is probably haunted, but at the time i didnt connect the visuals with the great wall, an arbitrary massive monument i chose because its visible from space. And then just the other day, a lucid dream where this tesseract that was also seemingly knitted from both neoprene tubes as well as tweed and yarn. the most realistic thing ive ever perceived, even in reality, it had infinite depth, morphed in an impossible 4 dimensional manner, and the threads remained consistent somehow, only problem was, the tesseract was like stuck in my HUD and was the only thing in the lucid dream i could not control or even influence, i could not interact with it at all, then i snapped out of it because sleep paralysis terror sets in when you try to move and your arms and legs feel like they are literally made of lead, like the way you might felt during your worst childhood flu/fever that had you the closest to death, but unlike what most experience in sleep paralysis thats just no response from casual motor movement, actually trying is like my soul is stuck in some cosmic mud or something and a bit of oomph gets me free, but the psychedelic event also ends and doesnt come back. Before anyone says, im going to go to the doctor soon and just double check i dont have diabetes and these are insulin hallucinations XD
Anyway i find on DMT background noise like my PC transforms and amplifies into being on a loud spaceship, with my normal tinitis turning into, lots of summer space crickets chirping, my immediate environment during the come up permanently seems to influence the trip and all subsequent doses therafter. what i see, am doing, where i am and who im around, if im engaging them, heavily influences mushroom trips too,

Yes, the loud ringing sound is the carrier wave. I imagine it's what a dog whistle sounds like to a dog. It's like it's high pitched and beyond normal hearing range.
For me it happens once the dose gets high enough. When the dose is really high it becomes very synesthetic and fantastically information packed for me.

The sound is more similar to the way sound waves seem broken up when you talk into a fan. I have ringing already often from years of using really loud power tools all day and it can become more dominant while tripping…but even that ringing becomes subject to the phenomenon where it gets fractured. In a closed space like a shower there seems to be some sort of echo as well that I can perceive.

Anyone else felt the ringing also on 5-meo-dmt? While it's not exactly loud it's more like a high pitch sound like banging on a metallic bowl. I only perceive it as high doses.
