Only a guess, but perhaps the sound generated by their phones is not a
pure tone? (Is it an app claiming to give single frequencies? If so,
does an oscilloscope confirm this?)

“Of course there will occur a limit beyond which it is useless for
merely human faculties to enquire; but where that limit is placed,
experience alone can teach us; and at least to assert that we have
attained it, is now universally recognized as the sure criterion of
dogmatism.” <https://science-education-research.com/commonplace/>

*Reject publisher contracts that ask you to waive your legal rights*
Authors are granted the 'moral' right to protect the integrity of their
works in law.
There is no reason for reputable academic publishers to ask authors to
allow them to be able to make changes of any kind, at any time, to
authors' works, without the author's approval.
Scholars should not be prepared to abandon their legal right to object
to changes that undermine the integrity of their scholarly works.
Academics should refuse to sign publishers' contracts that include
clauses that require authors to waive their legal moral rights.
