My appliances are talking to me again

11. Yeah I notice it too from time to time

Generally, it's not one appliance as such, but certain combinations of noises from different things during certain conditions cause me to "hear" things that aren't really present such as music, voices, my phone ringing. What'll trigger it is say a combination of the central A/C blower intake through the filter and the whoosh of water coursing through the plumbing. Or the dishwasher's varying sounds with a neighbor's lawn mower.

I've heard others descriptions of sounds you can't get out of your head. One wag termed it as the condition of being "mind fucked".
