Narrative:
Immediately before touchdown there was static (feedback) in my headset which I misinterpreted as the landing gear warning horn. I attempted to recycle the gear, but touched down before it could be extended again, resulting in a gear up landing. Following the tower's last transmission on the radio there was again static (feedback).
