Hearing is the first thing to go when you're stressed. Experienced it when giving an instrument check in a Navy DC-9:
VOR approach to YKM that has a course change near the bottom. CAVU day, no other traffic.
Him: Flaps 25. Gear horn starts wailing. Flaps 40.
Me: What?
Him: FLAPS 40!
Me: What?
Him: FLAPS 40!!
Me: I can't hear you over that horn. What's causing that?
Him: ####. Go around. Max power, Flaps 15. Positive rate, gear up.
Me: Good call.
Gear up passes...there are those that have and those that will.

This new phenomenon is actual atmospheric ice sticking to hot engine parts in the core airflow. I'm not sure why they're just now figuring this out, it's been happening for a long term, presumably as far back as jets go. It's probably pretty rare.
