For whatever reason, I’ve always had a very strong memory for sounds - it’s a relatively common occurrence for me to express knowledge of what a friend or family member had done on a particular day and time, based on hearing them bang about from another room. This tends to surprise them since I was not physically there to observe. The only other person I know who does this often is, fittingly, my mother.
More humorously, my office mates and I have jokingly accused our PI of teleportation; while it’s usually extremely easy to hear someone coming down the hall long before they reach our door, he always manages to appear with no warning (even when someone’s anticipating his arrival). He walks very quickly and wears quiet shoes, and is apparently the only person in the department who does the latter.
