I developed this a few years ago and I was a bit worried until I figured out what it was. I don’t know anyone else who has this but it is apparently not rare. It also has the best name for a benign phenomenon. Does anyone here experience this and if so what form does it take?

Yes I get this. It is like a loud bang/explosion. It seems to be completely random, at least I haven't identified any triggers.

I occasionally hear someone banging on the door in the middle of the night or calling my name

most horrible one was someone whispering in my ear!

Very occasionally, a bang, my name being said, or one ring of a phone. Very co fusing but haven't followed it up.

I have this when I am stressed. Yes usually a loud bang like a slammed door, or a gun shot. I have also had a glass shattering noise and at one point it was accompanied by lightning flashes within my head. Sounds nonsensical when I write it down....

I get this a few times a year. It’s either a loud bang, or it will be someone calling my name.

I haven't had it since taking b12 injections, but I used to get it all the time.
