Why would my phone do this?

So I was driving through town the other day and making a call through my Bluetooth to the place I was ordering dinner from all of the sudden I got about 15 seconds of screeching and kind of like dial up noises then I kept saying hello but no one was there so I called back and the person on the phone said to them it just sounded like a regular disconnection no weird noises. So later that night I picked up my phone and at 10pm it said I was receiving a call but my phone was on silent so I hadn't heard it ringing before I picked it up I pressed the top button to ignore the call and then my phone said I had missed the call at 945 which didn't make any sense. Although where I was when it said I was getting the call was somewhere with very little service if any at all. Then when making phone calls the last day as it's ringing the other persons phone the volume seems to shift to a few different volumes before settling for the call.

The noise you describe is like the sound to set up a fax call or a dial-up modem call. That could have been disturbance from something as you passed. I wouldn't worry too much about it.

That just sounds as if there was a problem with receiving the call since you were in a low signal area. It may have been trying to get you the voicemail. Did you check to see if you had a voicemail?

This sounds to me like calls I make occassionally, and that has to do with the carrier. As the carrier sets up the call, it can vary in volume, generally associated with how it is handled on their network. It also happens with my Bluetooth headset on occassion, and also with the Bluetooth setup in my vehicle. The first ring is very loud, then the second ring is in a more normal volume that I had set on the devices.

Friday the 13th, the full moon? Hard to tell. I wouldn't try to over evaluate it. Again, my phone does the volume thing every time I use it in my car. I think it has to do with Bluetooth sometimes. Again, call setup is a carrier issue. As far as the missed call, it is hard to tell. If you really want to do something, you can always restore the phone. If the phone starts to act up again, the user troubleshooting steps are restart, reset, restore from backup, restore as new.
