I too thought it was an interesting topic. One of the articles I researched also explained a similar phenomenon I frequently experience in the shower. The running water often creates a pitch that makes me think the phone is ringing. The tone coming from the faucet apparently makes the brain think that the sound is the phone because that is what one expects to be happening when that sound is heard.
