It is a robot, it calls at random times and hope some mug answers, then it hangs up, the times it is answered is collated and the info is then sold to a call centre, so they know you are in at that time and also will answer repeated pest calls at that time.
get ready for a load of sales calls at the times you pick up the phone.

Just another point, the disconnected tone you hear is actually a recording and so is the phone left of hook alarm, these are international calls and they get the first 30 seconds for free, so if you are not expecting any other calls, I find an hour or two off the hook whilst they pay usually teaches them a quick lesson in bot crawling you

Why did you conceal the last 5 digits of the calling number OP? There must be many on here who get inclusive USA calls who'd like to return the favor (sic).
