Mine seems to vary in my perception based on surroundings.
On the scale mentioned above, I can't hear anything except a few spots of very low tones between 3000hz to the top of the scale.
If I'm outside and it is dead quiet, the ringing sounds like a massive amount of crickets, cicadas and small frogs singing at night.
If I'm laying in bed at night and it's quiet, but not dead quiet, it often manifests itself as a distant woman singing a lilting ballad in soprano in a foreign language. Sometimes I'll try to see if I can catch any words, but never have.
The upside is that I've had it for so long that it is "normal" and it really doesn't bother me.
It bothers other people a lot, because some people speak in a tone that is a multiple of a particularly bad frequency for me, and I can see their lips move, but all I get is the teachers voice in Charlie Brown's school - "Mwahh mwah, mwah mwah wmahh!"
