So I should have been more specific, but I didn't want to put the idea in your head, first.
For my first MRI, I was concentrating on the different sounds just to amuse myself during the long scan. After awhile, I realized I was hearing what sounded like hundreds of different cathedral bells, big ones, but distant, all a jingle, no melody, as part of the overall mechanical noise of the machine. I didn't know whether it was the earplugs filtering out all but that frequency, or what. During this scan, the radiologist said things like, "This one will be four minutes," or "this one will last three minutes, then be quiet for a moment, then there will be two minutes."
The next time, I listened for it intently, again just to entertain myself. But I heard nothing. This radiologist didn't give times, but asked, "You okay?" or announce, "The tray will move a little," or "We're about half done." At one point, he said, "Okay, we're injecting the contrast medium now," then a moment later, jingle jangle, there went the church bells, and they lasted through the rest of the scan.
