I haven't noticed the tones you mention on telephone conversations,
but on CNN and NBC I'm driven absolutely crazy by the "bleeps" from
the DEC VT-xxx terminals scattered through the newsroom. Having used
these devices for the past twelve years or so, whenever I hear it, I
instinctively look back towards my home PC to see if a mail message
was just received.

Drives me nuts!
