The ear makes it's own noise when it doesn't detect sound. An anechoic chamber in Minneapolis holds the Guinness world record for the world's quietest place at -9.4 decibels. As humans can only detect sounds above 0 decibel, the chamber is virtually soundless. You can hear your own ear, because the ear makes its own noise when it does not detect sound.

Sonoluminescence is the process of turning sound into light.

In theory if a person was under water where there is no sound above 0 decibels his ears would start producing sound which would inturn produce flashes of light.
