    Probably just your tuner that’s unplugged. Feel around for any loose wires.

    If you see this when your eyes are open then it may be visual snow.

    I always assumed everyone saw it. I’m not special after all.

    Though mine is gray, definitely not purple.

      That gray is unique to individual. And if course has its German term. Similar to the other links floating about in this thread.

    I can make static if I squeeze my eyes very tightly, sometimes spots. No one i asked when I was little had the same results. Haven’t thought about it in a long time.
