a rushing filled my ears
uma vibração tomou conta dos meus ouvidos


Explanation:

Acho que dá a ideia de vibração, barulho, e também de um ataque, um movimento rápido e invasivo:

to rush = To flow or move forward rapidly or noisily

a rushing filled my ears
uma vibração tomou conta dos meus ouvidos
