I was walking around with some bone conducting headphones on the other night before bed trying to corral my daughter. They were connected to my phone but with no audio playing. I had forgotten I had them on. And also didn’t realize that the volume was all the way up. Then, as I was walking into my daughter’s dark bedroom, silent but for the calming white noise of a fan, I got a work email to my outlook app and it felt like the notification sound was coming from every direction directly into my soul. I stopped and said out loud “What the actual fuck was that?!” before I remembered the headphones were on.
