Has anyone else here been fooled by...

... smartphone sounds heard during TV interviews, thinking it was their own phone?

I usually charge my smartphone near the TV, so that probably makes me more susceptible to it. Lol.

(I have an HDMI converter for charging, so I can view on TV whatever's displayed on the smartphone if that's what I wish to do.)

1. Never. I use a pretty eclectic set of notification sounds and ringtones.

There are VERY few things that would be confused.

2. Thanks. I might need to make similar changes.

My ringtone and other notifications are set at default, except for the alarm (that I rarely even use).

3. It has happened.

Also sirens on TV have been confusing.

4. Same here!

5. All the time.

Peeling potatoes, hear the tone, rinse the hands, wipe the hands, go to the phone.....not the phone.

6. There ought to be a 555 sound

Remember movies always used 555 as the first 3 digits after the area code for phone numbers. The only valid 555 number was 555-1212 for information.

At least after some unlucky people got a ton of calls.

Agree on a tone so the rest of us can not use it.
