Is the verb in 受話器から変な音がして止まらない future tense?


> 受話器から変な音がして止まらない。
>
> Strange noises keep coming from the receiver and won't stop.

"Won't" in this case is closer to "desire, choice,willingness, consent, or in
negative constructions refusal" and isn't really future tense. Is Japanese
similar in this case?




The てform of して here is acting as a way to join the two clauses.

> 変な音がする and 止まらない

The 止まらない is nothing special. Just the negative tense of 止まる so we can
interpret it as **don't/won't stop**. There is no element of "desire, choice,
willingness, consent."
