I hear distant music in the middle of the night

I hear music periodically from cars driving far in the distance. It doesn't last long. I also hear traffic white noise, and I'm not even close to a major road. Psychotic people I think normally hear people talking to them, not music. Hearing music is normal.

I have one old corded phone. When I pick up the receiver I hear classical music. Weird.

Occasionally in the middle of the night (between 1 and 4am) I can't go back to sleep because I hear distant music that sounds like it comes from a boombox or blaring car radio or radio playing in an upstairs neighbor's apartment. We live in a SFH and while our neighbors are close, they are an 80yo woman and a single mom and her 10yo daughter. My husband is asleep and in any case his hearing isn't that sensitive so I'm not sure he'd be able to hear it. Last night at 3:30 am I walked around the house to figure out where it was coming from and couldn't hear it from any other room. It sounded like new age spa music. I'm breastfeeding a 4mo baby who
likes to cluster feed so I haven't slept more than four hours in a row for a long time.

The weird thing is, I've heard the distant music at our old apartment, back when I was pregnant. There it sounded like classic rock.

Am I going psychotic due to sleep deprivation?

MIL’s dementia began this way. Auditory hallucinations are awful.

Or-- do you have an ipad? Mine has an annoying habit of playing music on its own when I leave my headphones plugged in to it.

Ding. Ding. Ding. We have a winner.
