It did indeed sound like paedophile to me - but not apparently to the
presenter.


If I hadn't been told in advance that it was supposed to sound like
"paedophile" I'd certainly never have thought it did. OTOH no-way did
the second word sound like "bells". If pushed to identify words in that
noise I'd have gone for "single-file".

Perhaps they should have played it first before giving the choices. But it
was nothing like 'jingle bells'.
