Sounds like the Eck ala Eckancar. Paul Twitchal (hope I spelled it right???
 its been awhile since I read his books) talked a lot about the "sound
current." Also, the well-known word AUM is spoken aloud letting the final M
trial off into nothingness - the sound current or shabda. The trailing off
of a final M-sound is also well known in Tibetan Yoga (HUM amd AM, for
examples). Incidently, occult tradition says that hearing is the highest of
the five senses, and the last to go after death. As an aside, when you drift
off to sleep, you usually hear sound, generally a voice speaking, immediately
before losing waking consciousness - a sure sign that you are switching from
waking to sleeping.
