Idea for short film

The basis of my short film on the story I discovered while researching on the internet:
You know that ringing sound that you will perceive when you are in a very quiet area? Some people say this is an auditory-illusion brought about the ear’s inability to detect frequencies below the threshold of the human senses. This is completely wrong. That ringing covers up something else altogether. If you are quick, patient, and maybe a little lucky, you will be able to hear past the ringing. What you will hear are voices whispering to each other. They will silence themselves quickly but with practice, you will become more adept at catching and interpreting what they are saying. You will hear things of the past, the present, and the future. However, you must be careful. Because there is no such thing as a voice without a body.
And when you start noticing them, they will start noticing you. - www.creepypasta.com/the-ringing/
My initial idea for the basic plot of my short film begins with a forensic scientist, Freya, investigating a murder scene when she hears the ringing mentioned in the above text. In the ringing Freya can hear a voice, although it isn’t very clear. She hears it a few other times after this but the voice gets clearer the more she hears it. Eventually she tries to get her friend to listen and hear the voice but she doesn’t. The voice gets clear enough for Freya to work out exactly what it is saying when she realises they are actually talking to her. I will possibly make the voice a child and by what the child says, make it seem that Freya is their “imaginary” friend.
