Because it pauses when you get a call. You can't hear it either, can you?

Assuming you mean that the music is playing out loud then it's a simple concept. Phones filter out the sounds that they make when they transmit, it's the same reason that you don't hear echoes of yourself from the other person. If you could hear every sound coming out of the phone then you would hear a lot of repetition so modern phones have a system to remove the sounds that they produce
