Did i already mention that i miss the sound of 56k modems, but i still dream about them sometimes?
That sounds fun to use as a ringtone.I only wait until i have some spare time to make this brilliant idea real
Thanks.
No need to, it's all there:
Real 56k Dialup Modem Sound
-> https://archive.org/details/real-56k-dialup-modem-sound
ALL Old Modem Sounds (300 baud to 56K)
-> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ckc6XSSh52w
^ Audio can easily be extracted with ffmpeg once downloaded as mp4 with yt-dlp:
Code:
yt-dlp -f 234 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ckc6XSSh52w
ffmpeg -i ALL\ Old\ Modem\ Sounds\ \(300\ baud\ to\ 56K\)\ \[ckc6XSSh52w\].mp4 ALL\ Old\ Modem\ Sounds\ \(300\ baud\ to\ 56K\)\ \[ckc6XSSh52w\].mp3
#or with better quality:
ffmpeg -i ALL\ Old\ Modem\ Sounds\ \(300\ baud\ to\ 56K\)\ \[ckc6XSSh52w\].mp4 -vn -ar 44100 -ac 2 -ab 192k -f mp3 ALL\ Old\ Modem\ Sounds\ \(300\ baud\ to\ 56K\)\ \[ckc6XSSh52w\].mp3

Actually, searching for "modem sound" already gave me some nicely trimmed audio files, mp3 or wav format. They just need some cutting up and selective boosting to make a few
