Turned up the radio? 
I hear that tell tale noise all to frequently....
My best story on "I trashed my car but did not notice", was the customer who brought in a flat tire in the trunk with nothing left but the center section with the bolt holes left. The rest had been burned off one MM at a time, including 20% of the ball joint and lower control arm on the right front. Oh and 40% of the rotor.
