Like the title says, I hear cheering/clapping but it’s just a passing car, because I live next a road. Anyone else had it?
Auditory distortions like this are pretty common, even for neurotypicals. My husband sometimes hears music playing when there is a fan on in the other room. It can be a sign of tinnitus though, so you might want to mention it to your general practicitoner.

I used to get tinnitus before hallucinations. Sinus problems caused me to be deaf in one ear this morning.
In the summer time, every car that passed me by beeped its horn. That was weird.
Then, after that, every car had a passenger with their hand outside of an open window with them giving me the finger.
I have all kinds of auditory “whatevers”. Welcome to sza. We all have them except the 1-2 fakers. My therapist told me she has only had one faker in her entire practice. Most of us hide and deny symptoms or try to like for a non-sza reason for them. The sad truth is it’s as real to you as mine are to me. I always hear sounds that no one else hears. I am tormented by them. I have one good day and I so desperately want it to be over that I tell myself that on those good days that it’s over. I am okay. Then it comes back. I have gone f’n mad. I am constantly sedated to stop the rages!!! 
Yeah I mishear things on occasion. Especially when I’m paranoid. I’ve mentioned it on here before but I forget the specifics, sometimes harmless sounds will sound like wheezing/slithering/whispers and whatnot. I always confuse sounds for screaming too. I do the same thing with vision, I see things as things they aren’t.
Distortions…
I can chalk a lot of things I heard to someone playing those sounds on the computer at specific times, some real sick folks out there with too much time and not enough integrity.
