The spinning at an angle is very likely you reaching self awareness with enough fidelity to become aware of your own inner ear noise floor.
Like being in a silent room eventually relaxes your ear muscles and lack of other stimulation will bring out whatever birdies, tones, noise in your hearing, no movement and concentration can bring out same in your inner ear.
As we age, these artifacts tend to accumulate.
Happens in eyes too, but manifests a bit differently. What happens there is we need more photons to register the same sensory brightness levels. When we are in the dark for a while, the retinal noise floor can be more easily seen, like when star gazing.
Secondly, blood flow, other things can be seen in that noise floor. That happens better in consistent, lower light, but not dark environments, in my experience.
All of these are normally filtered in much the same way we filter our nose out of our visual field, unless we concentrate awareness there.
How do I know?
Well, we know nothing. But, my experiences come from three things:
I have a very good sensory recall. I know what it used to sound, hear, feel like with high fidelity.
My own meditative activities.
Some built in degree of self awareness. When I relax a bit, those filters come down fairly easily for me. Have always been that way and was confused by it more than once growing up.
