No, but I've noticed this question before.
It's neither American custom, not common on TV (at least what I watch) for people to hang up without "signing off" in some way -- whether bye, or see ya, or whatever.
Are you the same person who's asked this before?
If so, you have some sort of strange fixation and should seek help.
If not, my apologies.
Bye, now.

I can't say that I've noticed that. My sweet Lady always tells me that she loves me before we say bye.

Yes. I've wondered about that, too.
