This sound is better than sex.

Hunh... you know, its going to be sad when people who had to get used to thtat are dead and no one knows what that sound is. Cause its just going ot be a huge mystery when someone finds an audio clip of it and no one can say what it is.

[weeardguy]

Ahhh... and the excitement when the noise stopped: did it connect? Or did it not... And mostly, when it did emit noise for the third time, you could be pretty sure it couldn't connect... Sad I never recorded establishing a connection with a dial-up modem for my kids later... you just took it for granted, and you thougt it would never dissapear...

i want one

@100Modem i agree

[100Modem]

Ahh i remember this... 5 minutes to dial up, couldn't use the phone if i was using the modem, and of course, amazing net speed! To load a simple flash game it would take at least 2 minutes.

Good days.

@ 0:28 it does get the V90 protocol and makes 2 bips. :)

donnn donnn! It was the kick ass! very nice.

Those works great till today with much better phone lines.

@ipeters61 it's the sound of lowering the connection speed. probably to 28 or 33.6 due to low line quality.

The good old days of a old 56k modem to access the internet.

[EduCamargo]

despite all the increasing advance towards broad band connection infrastructure, this will stand forever and always as the classic sound of the internet.

At 0:27 to 0:31, why was that sound made?
