Question: Why do I hear a dial up handshake sound in my head when there's no computers around?

This phenomenon is known as "phantom ringtone syndrome" and is caused by the brain misinterpreting certain sounds in the environment as being associated with a previous auditory experience. This can be triggered by everything from a doorbell to a car engine, and the sound most often experienced is the sound of a dial-up modem.
