Always felt like an increasing rush of wind to me. Like falling faster and faster.

I get that as well! When it’s not a horrifyingly loud boom, it’s like an increasingly loud wind sound. When I get that one, it’s accompanied by my body feeling like I’m in a wind vortex being whipped around every direction. Makes me scared to go back to sleep.
