First of all, maybe you are hearing music and voices from a distance? If you live next to a street you could be picking up echos from your walls and floors. I remember lying on the floor watching telly once and I could suddenly hear kids playing. The kids were outside and the sounds from them was coming from beneath the floor and up my arm into my ear. I nearly peed myself.
Maybe you also have a touch of tinnitus? I know when I'm hoovering I can hear all sorts of sounds that aren't really there, mostly music. I think tinnitus does the same. It's like looking at white noise on the telly and you start to see patterns. Well I do. If only I could write music down. I have a lot of awesome guitar riffs and tunes I got just from listening to the hoover.
Whatever is causing it, just don't start answering back.

Tinnitus does not always present itself as a ringing in the ear. I've had tinnitus too, and in my case it was a ringing like you have. For many others though, it's different. It can be distant voices or music, hums, you name it. Read up on it.

I have tinnitus, and it isn't like that. It is a constant ringing that is always there. Some things, like loud noises, or your concentration on the tinnitus itself can alter how loud it is. But, it is always there, and is a constant tone. Mine is, anyway. I got it listening to music way too loudly as a kid.
I had something somewhat similar happen a couple of times: while laying in bed before going to sleep i could swear i heard voices--a conversation--that seemed to be coming from the radio. It sounded like the radio was tuned to talk radio, and the voices were very faint. I could not make out individual words, but i could hear (what i perceived as ) syllabic human speech. Of course, the radio was not turned on (i checked several times) and i was not asleep, i was alone, there was nowhere from where it could have come.
My first thought was some "thing" was speaking through the radio--or using the radio as means by which to communicate telepathically with me. But since i am a skeptic, i attribute it to the the brain manipulating and/or interpreting random sounds into human speech. We tend to find familiar patterns and meanings in things we can't readily understand, or interpret such things in a way that makes sense to us. Now that i think about it, i think i have also heard music in a similar context (radio) when it was not on.
Then again, it could have been voices in my head.
It only happened twice, so, even though i found it interesting, i don't put much stock in it being too significant.
