hackadayAOL has now shut down dial-up service as of September 30.
Let us play the forgotten music...
Dr David Mills@dtl Ha! Really cuts through the noise, somehow
@hackaday yep, and people of a certain age look around a bit confused when they hear it, but can't see a modem anywhere.

Bonkers@Workshopshed @dtl @hackaday I had my Nokia with some basic internet access and USB sync for contacts, photos and ringtones. It was pretty smart for a phone back then :)
Si Dawson@dtl Ok _that_ is simply glorious!

And one by Dr. Gough Lui from a few years later, which links to it:
https://goughlui.com/2016/05/03/project-the-definitive-collection-of-v-90v-92-modem-sounds/
It has several .WAV downloads of the Digital Impairment Learning (DIL) sequence, also known as the High Speed 'bongs'.
Simon Brooke@hackaday I love the happy sound of modems, singing in the morning.

Flippin' 'eck, Tucker!@TheBreadmonkey @hackaday That was so difficult back in the days when the pictures arrived line by line and took two minutes to fully render.

Let me sing you the songs of my people.
(I think that sequence is negotiating up to 56k - it had a very specific sound)
David Chisnall (*Now with 50% more sarcasm!*)
simonbp@david_chisnall @simon @hackaday That gut punch when you hear the flat tone and realize that you're only getting 28.8k today.
W. Latif Ayubi 🏴☠️@hackaday I miss that sound.

Nini@hackaday Thank you Fediverse for instantly going "but that's not a v.32bis connection, that's a v.90 one!"

Opa Gollum Catuvolcus DN9MS@hackaday Oh, the US shutdown.
Arthur van der Harg@hackaday America Offline. How fitting.
vlakicas@hackaday The question is about shut down, because it's workin' (you know, hackers) ;)
MOULE 
@hackaday All rise for the national anthem of the Internet 🫡
enoch_exe_inc@hackaday Anyone else here a fellow #Zillennial who grew up with this sweet, sweet sound of dialup internet because their parents couldn’t be bothered to get broadband? No? Just me?

gluttoI think you just upllloadded a virussss tooo my brain...
a1@hackaday I had that. Including the dandruff on top of it. It powered my fido BBS. Fascinating times. Today, whole social media are based only on flame wars.
Vidar Hokstad / Galaxy Bound@hackaday bug report: I can hear the sounds even though I have not played the video.

Jim Jones@hackaday my wife and I used to say we were "talking to Mr. Bing Bong" when we're tying up the phone line using dial up Internet back in the day.
"I've been trying to call you for an hour, but the line was busy."
"I'm so sorry. I was talking to Mr. Bing Bong."
Court Cantrell does not comply@hackaday I haven't heard that sound in...20 years? And yet with every beat, I knew what the next sound would be. It's like hearing a piece of music missing since your childhood. 😆🤣
@hackaday I explained to my 13yo how we had to *tell* computers to connect to the Internet.
13yo: that's like the Dark Ages
me: and when we told them to connect, this is what we heard *every* time...
*plays the dial-up sound clip*
13yo *looking worried, then increasingly horrified* it sounds like it's breaking...exploding! Mama, turn it off, you're scaring the cats!
😆🤣

Matt Godden@hackaday Ahh the pavlovian priapism of the anticipation of a new porn's arrival.
JCPhoenix@hackaday Then after that, I think I'd get the "You've got mail!" clip.
Or I'd be like "Mooooom, I'm trying to get onliiiiiine. can you get off the phone please??"
Einfach Nein 
Eternal September not that eternal anymore?

Stuck HereBack in 1999 I had a list of local dial up phone numbers for my service, Mindspring. When I'd hit a town I'd check to see what number was local. Hardest part was to put in the hotel's number to press to dial out and then to put in enough time for the dial tone to then appear before dialing.
Some hotels required a lot of fiddling to get dialup in the room to work.
JamminJerry@vol4life8657 @hackaday Who ever put that together forgot to attach the welcome sound to that dial up modem. Wow! That just brings back old memories.
Jeremy Scantlebury@hackaday @atpfm I look forward to an updated show start sound effect. Maybe something like this can be edited https://pixabay.com/de/sound-effects/telephone-connect-2009-08-24-67115/
DCom - Serial Hobbyist ☕️@hackaday My first “career” job was back in the 80s at Hayes Microcomputer Products, the original modem company. That sound brings back SO many memories.
Litchralee_v6@hackaday It's wild to me that the latest incarnations of fax machines will persist the legacy of the dial-up modem, outlasting dial-up internet. All while the invention of the fax machine itself predates the Internet and telephone networks.
@litchralee_v6 In a sense, perhaps because the fax machine has no exact functional replacement whereas the dial-up modem was directly superceded by better technology.
Amazing the fax still lives on given e-mail exists!

Dr. Christopher Kunz@hackaday The picture (a USR V.34 modem) and the sound (sounds like a 56K connect sound) don't correspond to each other. Blasphemy! /s
@christopherkunz We knew we'd get some blowback for that... our readers are just that good
