Actually, the title of your posting reminds me of a movie that might
count.  It was called, if I remember correctly, ``The Next Voice You
Hear''.  The premise is that the Voice of God starts being heard on
the radio every day at the same time.  Although the (other?)
characters in the movie hear the voice, the audience never does, since
the radio broadcasts are only heard off-screen.

***SPOILER WARNING***

Actually, it's more complicated than that.  For six days, the
broadcasts are heard off-screen.  On the seventh day, in the climactic
scene of the movie, all the characters are gathered to hear the Voice
of God together but there is only silence at the appointed time.  The
regular radio announcer comes on and announces that it seems that,
since it is the seventh day, God has decided to rest, just as at the
creation.

***End SPOILER WARNING***
