Has anyone heard voices in the headset, while not in-game?

This may be a silly question, but has anyone heard people speaking in the Rift headset, while in the set-up page? I've actually had this happen a couple times in the past but didn't really think much of it and moved on. 

I read a similar topic on reddit a couple months ago where another user had experienced this also, but I can't seem to find that page now. Commenter's didn't seem to know what the OP was speaking of and I never commented on my experience. I only bring it up now cause I had it happen again this evening, while re-calibrating my sensors. 

It's the same voices I hear each time of a girl laughing and a man saying something that gets cut-off. This has happen on 3 separate hard-drives that I re-installed Win10 on throughout the year. I figured it can't be anything on my computer interfering. Each time I do a re-install, I get rid of programs and the newly formatted drive does not consist of the same files or software. 

Well I managed to get a video screen capture of it this time, and I'll post it here shortly. I just thought I'd check if anyone may have experienced something similar? It's a silly topic, I know. It's something I've been curious about though, since I've had the Rift for over a year now.

Are your voices saying 'kill them, Kill them all' or is that just me.

It's when the voices stop that you need to worry

I used to hear voices when I baby sat at my Aunties house. It was a faint voice that used to say her name and talk about random things. I was 14 at the time and was scared shiteless, so much so I never said a word to her about it, I thought she might think I was crazy. Then one day before she was due to go out, I saw her talking to the Budgie and not long after the talking started. I never knew it was the fricken budgie talking, I knew parrots could talk, but not Budgies.
