There's a crew working on a street somewhere semi-nearby, using something that must be grinding something from the noise it makes. The thing is that from this distance, that noise sounds exactly like a cell phone set on vibrate, and it's intermittent enough that it keeps fooling me whenever it happens. Oddly, I rarely even have my phone on vibrate, so how ingrained my reaction to that sound turns out to be is a little surprising. Wait, was that my phone?
