I used to self harm via self-strangulation. I guess that's a really weird way to go about it since my therapists always give me a weird look when I talk about it.

I clearly remember what the experience was like. If I managed to compress not just the airway but the jugular vein, it gave me the weirdest sensations. My vision blacked out, I felt faint/light-headed, but the strangest thing was the sound. I remember hearing my heartbeat slowly turn into glitching noises. It sounded almost crunchy, maybe like staticky running water. Like a video game glitching out.

Has anyone else experienced this? I might consider trying it again, but I'd rather not accidentally ctb through this method.

I've never strangled myself, but I can relate to the experience you're describing:

Some time in the past I was taking a medication that increased my blood pressure sporadically, and in the moments when it was really high I heard a similar sound. Other times, it was more of a whoosh.

During practice, you know you are doing it well when you get the sound of rushing water in your ears.
You probably heard that.
