I missed the beginning of the thread, but I wanted to point out that 
there's a reference on "microwave hearing" by radar operators, 
Frey, 1961, "Auditory response to RF energy", Aerosp. Med. 32, pp 1140. 
While it's likely that they operators heard the modulations of the RF 
signal because of bone conduction, it remains that they heard 
"something". Look at Bennett 1998, Journal of the Acoustical Society of 
America, 103 (4),  pp 2111-2116 for a scientific experiment on why'
you would hear modulations of AM'ed rfs.
