Strange static/breathing sound during phone call?

i was on a phone call with a friend, we were just chatting generally. Suddenly, the audio went static and sounding like someone breathing down the phone. I spoke her name a few times as I thought it was her messing around or something. The phone call continued static, but was like someone was mumbling down the phone.

the call ended and I called her back, she said she heard it at her end too. Now, I’m not into the whole ‘aliens’ are taking over rubbish haha. I’m just wondering if there’s a specific reason this could have happened? Everything is up to date in terms of anti virus/updates etc. it’s never happened before, I’m just really confused at what exactly it was or why it happened.

What Call? On an iPhone, you can make and receive various types of calls. Here are the different types:

These are standard voice calls made over the cellular network. They utilize your carrier's voice network to connect you with other phone numbers. Allow phone calls on your iPad, iPod touch, and Mac
FaceTime Audio allows you to make voice calls over Wi-Fi or cellular data using your internet connection. It provides higher audio quality compared to traditional cellular calls.
FaceTime Video enables you to have video calls with other FaceTime users. It uses the front or rear camera on your iPhone to transmit live video during the call. Use FaceTime with your iPhone or iPad - Apple Support (IN)
VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) calls use internet connectivity to make phone calls. Apps like Skype, WhatsApp, Viber, and Google Hangouts utilize this technology, allowing you to make voice and video calls over the Internet.
Some carriers support Wi-Fi calling, which allows you to make and receive calls over a Wi-Fi network instead of relying solely on cellular coverage. This can be useful in areas with weak cellular reception. Make a call with Wi-Fi Calling - Apple Support (IN)
The App Store offers numerous calling apps that utilize different technologies. These apps can provide additional features and options for making calls, such as international calling, call recording, and more.
