Hear Hear
My refrigerator sometimes hums, and then it stops. But I don't notice the hum until just after it turns off. But I feel like I was listening to it before the hum turned off.
Either 1) it gets louder before the hum stops, so I notice or 2) this is some weird psychological effect that has your brain move back in time a few seconds after the event occurs.

Clearly its Elves.
You notice the change in surroundings and brain responds by analyzing certain data that was stored in the short term memory but not the front-brain (to horribly mix metaphors). This is also why people "see" various things based on light changes and fleeting shadows (Ghost Hunters are living off this phenomena)
So what you're saying is metaphorical Elves? Neat.
