Nice tool:

http://www.dialabc.com/sound/detect/

Just uploaded file "One" and got this answer:
213 555 8148

So it seems to work, as it is the same you found
Will try the other three, but feel free to upload your own sounds

Caught up on some sleep and I feel a lot better. Sorry for the unnecessary drama. Keeping calm and being rational is my new mantra. So it's not the dream job anymore. Eliza did a good job of talking me off the fence. I even managed to keep my cool after being asked to work on some survey Erik wants, right as I was heading out the door. Not that I was hired to do web forms. Breathe in, breathe out. I am just going to keep my head down and focus on the job. Just wanted to give an update and I'll keep the posts coming again. Thanks for all the support.

Yea, if you can't listen to the files it's not clear: The sound files each contain 10 touch tones followed by the words spoken by a female voice. So now the puzzle is what the tones/numbers have to do with the words.

Okay that makes sense. Lol, I am at work so i cant turn up my sound, its bad enough that 6/8 hours at work i am playing ARGs, and reading books, i cant totally slack off

No matching yet, the words are spoken on the audio files following the sounds of the dialing numbers on a telephone.

p.s., I added an explanation to the bottom of my last post, to clarify this

[Vecheeso]

[Agent Lex]

Very nearly matches what dialabc.com gives us:

one: 2135558148
two: 6175559117
three: 9325551972
four: 3325554911

I think you're reading the last digit of number 2 wrong, but otherwise the same.

Withholding any mistakes:

#1: 213 555 8148

#2: 617 555 9117

#3: 932 555 1972

#4: 332 555 4911

Edit - Lex is right, should be 7

KEYS REACH SECRETS BOUNTIFUL REPEATS

(most recent results in bold)

(edit to clarify: the WORDS are spoken at the end of each audio file, after the phone dialing is heard; we're just confirming that we all hear the same numbers as well as words)

[mousekinn]

It's been suggested that the numbers correspond to the first letters of the words in the phrase.

the only one I'd have trouble with is #2, I have 9 letters there, unless hideout is two words.

The last one is five, could be keyed on "repeat" to get ten

[alexbutterfield]

Just a couple of alts to number 4

1. Let's count fifteen thirty-three divided by negative answer

2. Fishing salmon in a devout yellow hideout at night

3. Driftwood beach is my pen pal's favorite destination for rest

4. Keys reach secrets, bountiful repeats.

[ares5000]

I'm downloading IRC now so I'll be in chat in a bit!

[Agent Lex]

For quick navigation between all four, I quickly embedded them in a blog post here.

That is all.

[Kayberry]

#4 to me was "keys reach secrets bountiful repeats"

Also recommend that #1 use full text: "let's count fifteen thirty three divided by negative answer"

I'll be back later with phone numbers unless someone beats me to it.
