Nitrous tends to produce some sort of ambient auditory hallucinations, often in a way that directly corresponds to feelings of physical euphoria. A sort of rippling-breathing almost echoing effect is common, but often a hallmark of a really good hit is a sort of ringing sound that tends to be accompanied by a particularly pleasurable and relieving feeling. It's really addicting in the short term, but most people are kind of over it after a couple hours.

You can definitely lose track of how much you're spending in that time, though. Many do.

That's why we call them Nangs in Aus, since the sound kind of like a naaang

Yeah I've heard people refer to 'wahs' too, but that makes me think more of the sort of baseline state of that sound/feeling, not the bit where it sort of pushes over the edge.

I hear enough ringing as is thank you very much.
