About the Busy Signal sound

Telephone busy signal: 480 Hz and 620 Hz pulsing together in the rhythm that once meant someone was already on the line. The sound of rejection, landline edition. Use it in edits when someone gets left on read, as a comedy beat when a plan falls through, or as a deeply confusing ringtone for anyone born after 2005. Synthesized to the North American spec, and free to download. Nobody under twenty will have the faintest idea what it means.

OriginPrecise synthesis of the North American busy signal (480+620 Hz, 0.5s cadence).
