This primal vibration or Sound is in its nature transcendental and therefore perceived in silence.
Jesus' disciples called it the "Holy Spirit" or the "Word" (which is from the Greek word "Logos," meaning sound).
from the book of Genesis: "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God."
Moses heard this very Sound on Mount Sinai when in communion with God.

After Shakyamuni Buddha attained enlightenment he spoke of this Sound, calling it the "drum of immortality".
Krishna equated Himself with the "sound in ether". The flute of Krishna is symbolic of the same Sound.
Shiva heard the same Anahad Naad during his Samadhi in the Himalayas.
Mohammed perceived this Sound in the cave at Gare-Hira when He had a vision of the archangel Gabriel,
and Lao Tzu described the Tao as the "Great Tone".
The Sound of the Abstract is called 'Anhad' in the Vedas, meaning unlimited sound.
The Sufis name it Sarmad, which suggests the idea of intoxication.
