So, I’m checking my voicemail messages, and the first one does not have an identified sender or return number. It is a message from a young sounding woman or girl. Sadly, I cannot fully replicate the oddness that this message conveys (if anyone knows how to record/forward from a Verizon voicemail system I’d love to post a link), but it starts out something like this:

[Says indistinct name] from Hungary  
Then some sort of high pitched yipping (about five times)  
Then several seeming random operatic notes, a la Kate Bush  
Then final an orgasmic sounding sigh

Then she hangs up.

The whole thing is maybe 5-10 seconds long.

The call does sound long distance, and possibly came in via an 800 number (this is a message left on my business voice mail about 10:30 pm on Friday night). Any possible explanation or interesting theories would be useful.

There’s a low tech way. Do you have a microphone for your computer? Hold the mic up to the telephone and record.
