Is this a legitimate fear? And if it is, what is it called?

Since I was little, I've had a fear of electronic noises. Dial-up, fax machine voices (you know, those automated ones, that sound really choppy?), things to that nature. When I was little, my parents had a fax machine. Whenever they would check for messages or whatever they did, the electronic voice would make me very nervous and uneasy. Now, if I call someone and it rings through, the three beeps that follow give me the same feeling. Does this have a name or is it a very uncommon fear? Serious answers, please. Thank you.
