The New York Times has an article about phantom rings/ringxiety. It delves into why we think we hear phones ring during tv commercials, while water is running, when a car passes by, or anytime. This has happened to me far too often. I'll be playing a game, like I usually do, and then I hear my phone ring. (My ringtone is a pretty shoddy .midi of the theme from The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly.) So I leave the game to check my phone, and no one has called. It's annoying, and very commonplace in this day and age. It also turns out that sounds around 1,000 hertz are very difficult for humans to locate. That's a fun fact, eh? What are some of your phantom ring stories?
