Tinnitus and Synesthesia?

At the end of 2017 Dr Lisa DeBruine, from the Institute of Neuroscience & Psychology at the University of Glasgow, shared the GIF below with her followers on Twiiter, and ask them to describe whether they experienced any auditory sensations while watching it. 


Many answered to hear a sound accompanying the animation, and most of them said they could hear a thudding sound. 

One person who suffers from tinnitus replied: "I hear a vibrating thudding sound, and it also cuts out my tinnitus during the camera shake." 

Do you experience something like that with this well-known GIF, dubbed an "optical illusion for the ears"?
