GTA4 coded this into the game, the radio will play interference just before your phone goes off....

First time i noticed it, i heard the static, picked up my IRL phone, and then the game phone started ringing. 10/10 immersion and bamboozle

    Thank you for introducing this to me.

    Unrelated but this is now the second vertical music video I've seen, it's physically hurting me how old it makes me feel.

    A co worker called me into their office yesterday because their computer was making a weird noise every now and then and they couldn't figure it out. After his hilarious attempts to make the noise I tried calling him on his cell phone and sure enough that was the sound. Damn kids.

    My old Sony Dream Machine alarm clock can tell me when my cell phone pings a cell phone tower or is about to get a text when it is sitting next to it. The unshielded wires on the speakers make them go pppbbbpppbbbschzzzzzz... pppbbbpppbbbbschzzzzz...

    Memory unlocked! My brother used to have this sound as his ring tone. Threw me off the first few times it rang!

    My modem had a built in speaker

    This has to do with the speakers picking up signals from your mobile phone. Before a mobile phone rings, if it is close to the speakers, somehow the signal would make the speakers go "dudud dudud dudududu".

    No, my dial up modem in my desktop pc. Some. Pcs use the external speaker, some used the motherboard speaker and my dial up modem had its own speaker. God forbid someone picked up a phone to dial.

    The meme is about incoming phone calls and its effects on the speakers. It has nothing to do with the modem.

    Dial up modems, like the ones the poster mentioned, could receive incoming phone calls as part of their normal function

    The "dudud dudud dudududu" sound in the meme is completely different to the dial-up modem handshake sound "skreeee-chirrup-buzzzzwheee-krkkrkkrk-shhhhh".

    The "dudud dudud dudududu" sound happens BEFORE an incoming mobile phone call. The "skreeee-chirrup-buzzzzwheee-krkkrkkrk-shhhhh" sound happens after an incoming land-line call is picked up.
