Yesterday my friend left me a message on my phone and when I listened to it, there was this really crazy noise. like her voice became a monotonous drone and had a weird bleep in the background throughout the entire message. I let her listen to the message and she said she had talked in her normal bubbly voice with inflections and stuff. has this happened to anyone else? could there be a scientific reason to the creepy message transformation?

Actually, Predictive insertion causes this synthetic sound by replacing the sound lost when a packet is dropped with a best guess from a previous sample. This is often caused by a fast-switched cRTP bug associated with 1700 DSP firmware. Layman's terms - A computer, at the cell site, attempts to replace lost segments of the conversation with a synthesized re-creation of the words by assembling the words based on previous sampled words, however this technology falls short of creating audible, phonetically correct and pitch adjusted voice samples. Warble is a quavering modulation of the voice.

That sounds like an old telephone cable problem . Some times they get a small amount of water and partially connects to other pair in the cable.

It's called warble and is the result of undersampling an analog signal in digital domain.

It's because the aliens were trying to use your signal to transmit their superpowers to our government.

The answer is that you probably have verizon wireless, or sprint who have horrible quality phones.
