It is well known that harmine changes auditory perception. For me, various hums in the environment become more salient. For hours the vibrations of the ventilation shaft in my room would intrude upon my awareness when normally they would be entirely filtered out. This effect does not seems to apply to all background noise, though.
It also changes music. I suppose the subjective feeling is that the music is simply faster, but it also appears different in other ways that I do no know how to describe. I wonder if someone who's into music knows and knows more about sounds could describe the effects in more detail.
I used to have an assumption that something that makes music faster necessarily slows down the speed of perception (and therefore things that proceeded at a normal pace now appear to proceed at an accelerated pace) but outside of music I have sense at all of being slow with harmine. In fact, my reaction time actually decreases with it.
