Meh. Been there, done that. God didn't send you a windows XP ding. You heard a sound that sounded remarkably like one.
The human brain mutates stimuli into stimuli it's familar with. Think of the phenomenon of people constantly seeing Jesus and other saints in marble, french toast, cinnamon buns, and grilled cheese sandwiches. Objectively speaking these things in reality look nothing like jesus/the virgin mary/mother theresa. But the we WANT to see familiar shapes in objects, and hear familiar sounds, etc.
I, and several family members once heard the ICQ "message received" sound in a parking garage. Well, we heard a noise that, to our well-conditioned minds, sounded rather similar to it.
or you were being watched by the CIA from the back of that black SUV and he'd forgotten his headphones, and was chatting to his wife.
but i didnt give you that tip.
i cant stay any longer.
this might be my last comm for a while.......................
