Remember the days of dial up...

[RickDaTuner]

Lately I have been hearing those old school dial up comm tones in my room, the other night I was woken up by the classic start up noise (you guys know what I'M talking about)

Thing is though I have my wireless router 2 floors down, and have not owned a dial up modem in the last 6 years. Our house does have shaw Voip. but I still can't figure out where the noise is coming from?

its just super odd?

Thoughts?

Did one of your siblings/family download it as a ring tone?

haha no,

honestly I thought some one was trying to pull a prank of me, so i checked my phone and turned it off, but no luck the sound was still there.

its been over a week now that I have been hearing this, you would think if it was a cell phone that the battery would have died by now.

All that time spent getting onto the bulletin board systems huh?

Seriously...

Im thinking I have developed some sort of radio aparati in my jaw... I did have Tinnitus in the past for a while so this wouldn't surprise me lol
