And now I'm talking about a phone mostly a land-line type that has the classic bell or electronic ring ( not the musical stuff that plays continuously )

Ever notice how certain household noises; like running water in a sink, dishwasher, flushing toilet, HVAC fan blowing ect can, through certain harmonics, make a sound that damn near sounds like your phone ringing, or rather make you think the noise is covering a ring?

Even more maddening: Ever notice that while engaging in some activity in the home and you think you hear the phone ring....and you immediately stop, freeze, and listen intently....and the normal 5 seconds or so between rings now becomes more like....say, 2 and a half decades between rings?

Always drove me up a wall. That is all.
