corner of the ear 

The auditory equivalent of “seeing something out of the corner of your eye.” A fleeting or imagined sound, ie: a whisper, knock, name being called, or music; usually experienced when you’re distracted, tired, or surrounded by background noise.
I swear I heard someone say my name, but no one’s even home. I definitely heard something out of the corner of the ear.

That ghosty noise? Just your imagination catching something out of the corner of the ear.
