Heavy Breathing Sounds

I swear this is not a joke.

Earlier this week, I was talking to my husband on my Droid X and I kept hearing a very annoying heavy breathing sound. DH is 67 and does do this sometimes, but it was to the annoying point. At the same time, I didn't think much of it. Then today, I was talking to my daughter and heard the same heavy breathing. She does not usually make this sound, so I asked her if she was out of breath. She said, "No. Not at all." I said, "You are making all this heavy breathing sounds." which she denied. Just as I was telling her about what I was hearing (she did not hear it), the heavy breathing stopped! :eek: I started laughing because we had been talking about the pros and cons of Formula 409 over Clorox bleach. (She just bought a house.)

I work at mid-sized bank, in the IT department. This is my personal phone and from work, which is where both calls occurred, I probably make phone calls on it less than five times a week. I have no access to confidential information.

Do you think someone is listening in to my conversations? Has anyone else experience heavy breathing sounds on their Droids??
 
I experienced the same.
I thought it was me or my boyfriend but no.
No one is breathing heavily.
I hold my breath and also my boyfriend is talking while I hear those heavy breathing sound and while he was talking, the sound was all messed up. I hold the call and in my shock I can still hear those heavy breathing. I don't know maybe it was a third party or just the network is jammed.
But damn! It lasted for 1 minute and 30 seconds after I say hello!
I was freaked out since it was just last night around 1 am. It scared me also so curious. Whatever that is I want to know.

You could also be getting a bit of the sea shell treatment. If you hold a shell to your ear, you hear your own breathing and other various noises.

If you are holding the phone tightly against your ear, you may get this sound.

Right now, I have an extremely stuffy nose and even normal breathing sounds like a pervert on the phone.

Actually, this has been happening to my brother A LOT! Except hes been hearing heavy breathing on his phone while hes calling, and when he is not. Its a very creepy sound. It sounds like as if a person was breathing, and moving around. I don't know what or who is causing this, but I might call the cops if this doesn't stop. If this happens again, I suggest that you try to record the breathing with another phone, and then call the cops.

This could be similiar to my problem. My phone is making a busy signal constantly off and on even when I am not placing a call. I will be watching a movie on my android and get interupted by a busy signal. It isn't a notification and the sound doesn't exist in my settings anywhere. Google hasn't helped at all. Has anyoneelse experienced this?

I heard the Loud breathing coming from my phone. It wasn't me , I wasn't even on the phone. I was like wat the F$@*! is that!!! When it did it again I recorded it cause nobody else could understand wat the heck I was talking about. It's loud. Sounds like a regular person breathing on my phone. :eek:It's very freaky an I don't like ito_O. I had to turn the volume All the way down cause it was freaking me out:oops:. I never ever had a phone that did tht. Wish I knew how its started an how to stop it. :thinking: any suggestions???

I'm a career electronics technician, so I watched the video and listened intently. That is very likely NOT heavy breathing because the intervals are too precise. EXACTLY 3.5 seconds of noise before a brief silence, then EXACTLY 3.5 seconds of noise. That's what it is - white noise. I'm about to lose some folks here, but it's likely caused by channel frequencies crossing & mixing into product order harmonic frequencies: intermodulation interference. Once you call again, you may not hear the sound because your call is routed by a different channel. Depending on where you are and the amount of cellular bandwidth available, you may hear it more often.

Hi, thank you for posting this because since July 27th I have been searching Google for an answer. Basically on that day my mom's partner died at the exact same time I heard this on my phone. I was searching my shopping bags thinking it was something in my bag until realising it was my phone. I had no apps on in the background and nothing on Spotify etc. It was only half an hour later I got the call that he had died at that exact time so naturally I thought it was something spooky. I'm sure my mom thinks I made it up. After listening to your video clip I note its EXACTLY the same! I note that you did get an answer although not sure what that means but I accept it as some tech/frequently glitch. I only joined this forum to reply to you to let you know that this exact same thing happened to me and to thank you for solving the mystery that I might have perceived as something else for the rest of my life.
