Chett, those are some interesting experiences.
There are others here who have had similar experiences with the tones and visions. I haven't had those kinds of experiences myself, as far as I can remember, but I think you'll find helpful perspectives here.
I recommend you read Carla's Channeling Handbook (free at http://www.llresearch.org/library.aspx). Tthat might help you decide whether or not you want to pursue this path right now, with special attention to her warnings about the importance of an in-person support group.
There are some interesting Bible stories about people with similar experiences. These stories usually refer positively to people answering the voice with a question, or a statement about their willingness to hear more. This let a dialogue begin.
Perhaps as you meditate, or before going to sleep, you could try to make a response.
For instance, if you wanted to learn more, you could say something like this. "I don't understand the distances or why they are important. I don't understand what I should know to share. I don't understand who I am supposed to share this information with. I don't understand who is providing the voice, the tone, and the visions. I am willing to help and serve in love that blesses everyone. Please clarify the message."
Or if you wanted to be relieved of these responsibilities, you could say, "I don't feel that I have an understanding of distances or messages that need to be carried to others. I prefer to be relieved of any urgent responsibility to figure out these messages and visions. I would like to focus on my own growth right now rather than on serving as a messenger or teacher. If this focus will not harm the spiritual growth of other people, please respect that I want to not have any pressure now towards some type of sharing obligation I don't understand."
In any event, say what you think and feel and prefer. If the source of the information has more to tell you, you are providing it an opportunity to explain what it is and what it wants.
P.S. From the title of your post, I was expecting you to discuss blue-haired little old ladies at the veterans' hall on Wednesday evening, putting chips on their number card in hopes of winning the $50 jackpot and the stuffed teddy bear. So your actual topic really surprised me!
