#86792 - Special Information Tone - SIT
Responding to: ???'s previous message
Joseph Hebert said:
Have you ever dialed a number and gotten that three-tone signal, "buup-boop-beep," of three increasingly higher frequencies, just before the voice says "I'm sorry. The number you have reached has been disconnected or is no longer a working number."

This tone sequence is known (at least in the UK) as the Special Information Tone, or "SIT"

For the UK network, see the BT Supplier's Information Note SIN350:
http://www.sinet.bt.com/350v1p2.pdf

This includes the full specification of the frequencies, cadence, and amplitudes - so that you can get your TeleZapper just right!

I should add that these tones are specifically defined as being generated by the network. Any generation of them by your own equipment is entirely at your own risk!
