Also back in 2012 a wonderful poster was made by Oona Räisänen www.windytan.com/2012/11/the-s...
--------------------------
I was bored so I wanted to see if I could get free dial-up internet so I found that NetZero still has free service so I put in the number and heard the glorious sound of the Dial-up. Remind me of years gone. Unfortunately, I was not able to make a connection.

If you had told me in 1998 that I would one day be actively seeking out this shrill cacophony to play out of nostalgia, I'd have said you were nuts. But here we are
You're not the only one, i really came here out of nostalgia. They were simpler times. Took 3 hours to download a song
Just played it for my kid ..

+Donovan Beavers You've been on the internet for 1 hour now, get off and stop charging the phone bill up the ass.
+8ball with a face like that I'm surprised you wern't grounded for eternity
How could a noise that put such genuine fear in me as a child, provide such comfort in me as an adult?
It's nostalgia. I get the same exact feeling too. Back then that noise was atrocious and mildly irritating to me but nowadays it's a special gentle sound that brings you instant peace deep in your heart and soul 😌 😇🥰
Why didn't such sounds scare me when I was a child?
@@DADDYCHAD875 It's cos it takes us back to a time when things were easier and simpler. When you're a kid all you want is to grow up and be an adult, but then when you're an adult, you realize how much you miss being a kid and how good you actually had it.
@@Erix442 I liked it too. It was strangely harmonic enough that I naturally ended up memorizing it the way you would a song, and never forgetting the whole sequence.
@@nycot107 I wouldn't agree with that. As a kid I never wanted to be an adult. I even cried when I turned 6 and felt so relieved that I didn't actually grow up. lol

Did you ever not turn it off and listen in in mum and dads phone calls 😂
lol picking up the phone when the modem was on and getting blasted with earrape.
aaah someone remember the world back then
That’s my grandpa to my dad
I was born in the wrong era, sadly
It's 2023 and for some reason I needed to hear this sound again.
Same, but in 2024. It is a terrible sound from a better time in my life. I love it.
The Circus ?

Same!
I was born in 1995, and I think we had dial up Internet until 2005.
Brings back a lot of memories of downloading music using file sharing on WinMX, anyone remember that? It used to take a couple of hours to download an album!
Many memories of my mum telling me to get off the Internet so she could use the phone!
I also remember finding out that if you picked up the phone at the right moment while the dial up connection was in progress, you could speak through the phone, and your voice would come through the computer speakers! Along with a lot of feedback.
I remember when we finally got broadband, I found it mind blowing that you could use the landline phone and be on the Internet at the same time, and the difference in speed was amazing.
Most kids these days think "landline" is some sort of reference used by seamen
Then when you FINALLY connected, your mom would tell you to get off because she needed to use the phone
Or worse, you're halfway through a music download that has taken forever, and someone picks up the phone and cuts the connection before it could complete.
Lmao yup
"nEeDeD"
We got a dedicated phone line put in at the recommendation of my uncle to avoid that

I was born in 1995 and I'm just old enough to remember my family having dial-up as our first Internet connection. I couldn't have been more than 4 or 5 years old. For some reason I still have this really specific memory of my Dad yelling out from my parents' bedroom to my Mom to not pick up the phone for the next few minutes because he had to check some emails from work haha
I was born in 1993, and had dial-up on my first PC back in the early 2000s, playing RuneScape with dial-up was a _fun_ experience, lol.
I was born in 1998 and I remember Windows 2000 professional and Windows XP on dial up from 2002/2004. And playing Halo CE on PC.
Same, also born in ‘95 I remember my mom used to yell at me to get off the internet back around 2003 windows XP days, but definitely this sound I first heard it with my dad logging in on his old Windows 95 PC which was my first ever OS I’ve ever used
I thought it wouldn't matter if she picked up the phone, doesn't it prioritise the internet connection?
I was also born in 95. Even up to around 2007/2008 I remember this. For a short time after we moved out to a rural area around that year, we did try switching to it when we were in the middle of switching to a new service provider. Didn't last long.
A friend down the road had it too. Once when I visited their house and needed to call my parents later to ask if I could stay longer, I heard this noise instead of the dial tone and thought it was super weird and interesting.

@@zerlichr426 yeah we know that dude
@@zerlichr426 yeah.
it's called the "handshake" between your modem and the recieving modem.
The noises you hear are both modems communicating with each other to discuss what the optimal settings and protocol would be for the connection, based on what your modem was capable of handling.
@@jonasgrill1155 Sadly even with a top of the line modem, you were still getting a shit connection with noisy phone lines
The real horror was picking up the phone in the kitchen and it screamed at you. A couple seconds later, Dad's voice would boom down from the attic like thunderstorm asking who screwed up the connection.
I was working on a router in the telecom room with a couple of other guys and heard modem sounds clear as day. I thought, "who the hell just spun up the old modem pool?" Turns out it was someone's ring tone on their cell phone. Made me chuckle.
😂 that's hilarious. I'm getting a new ringtone as we speak.
0:09 i've never heard a better sound to describe what it feels like to have your foot go numb from sitting for too long and the tingling sensation of the feeling coming back.
An experience that was a common part of trying to view an image on dial up...
The sound it makes indicates that it’s working perfectly but the sound itself makes it sound like a number of things have gone catastrophically wrong, this is accidentally a great sound effect.

The first parts of it are using older encoding schemes that were used for lower data rates before the 56K standard that this is using came out. From memory that initial carrier was used for 9600bps .That's bits per second (kind of), I could literally read text as it came in at that speed, only just though. It was such a leap up from the 1200bps modem I had before then. Downloading a page of plain text would actually take a noticeable length of time with that.
Many older things didn't need more than 9600bps and that was the maximum speed guaranteed by the telecom provider in my country. Also for 56K you needed special digital modems that connected to the carrier over T1/E1 links on at least one end of the connection. The best you could do consumer to consumer was 33.6Kbps at least initially.

Actively searching for this sound is something I never thought I’d do.
You just _knew_ the absolute second that it wasn't going to connect. When you finally did connect, you got to watch a picture load pixel by pixel, praying the connection would hold out for you. 😂😂😂
Remember dialing up and finding something big to download? Then, after 48 mins of download, you lost the connection, and had to start all over again, remember???

*What The Sounds Mean:*
0:00-0:05: Dial tone and modem dialing number (basically the modem automatically dials the number of the ISP ex: AOL)
0:06-0:07: MPS and ITM configuration between calling and receiving modem (essentially both modems listing their capabilities and specifications to each other.)
0:07-0:09: (FSK) (Frequency shift keying) data communication between the modems in order to agree on a mode of communication (the calling modem lists its protocols, location, manufacturer, etc. and then the receiving modem acknowledges the connection and suggests a protocol then the calling modem responds to the acknowledgment)
0:10-0:11: (FSK) transmission between modems: Receiving modem disabling echo suppression (echo suppression is in place in order to prevent feedback when a human talks on the phone but it will mess with data being transmitted on dial-up, therefore it is disabled)
0:11-0:13: (FSK) transmission between modems: Receiving modem lists its available modulation modes (repeated 6 times) and then calling modem responds with its available modulation protocols (repeated 3 times) (all this is: is both of the modems explaining their capabilities to each other in regards of how that data is actually transmitted)
0:13 1st half:(DPSK) both modems explain their transmission rates, transmission power, and their clock source (essentially both modems figure out how fast they can transmit data)
0:13 2nd half - 0:14 1st half(the sound that sounds more like a buzzer): Both modems send and receive probing signals (basically each modem tests how the other sounds over the telephone wires as telephone wires vary on a person-to-person basis)
0:14 2nd half: (DPSK) both modems communicate how they sounded over the telephone lines and they communicate what different frequencies, symbol rates, offsets, transmission power, and whether or not they heard each other properly so that they can use full-duplex communication (both modems essentially reconvene after the probing tests and explain caveats between them and if they heard each other well enough)
0:15-0:17: receiving modem transmits random data over the lines so that the calling modem can see how the receiving modem sounds over the lines
0:17-0:21: calling modem transmits random data over the lines so that the receiving modem can see how the calling modem sounds over the lines
0:21-0:23: Both modems transmit data at the same time so that they can see how they sound when they are both talking at the same time
0:23: Connection between modems successfully established!
0:24-0:26: data being transmitted and received over the internet by the computer connected to the modem
0:26: Receiving modem disables speaker
Super cool, thanks!
Doing the Lord's work. Was just about to look this up out of curiosity.
Thanks for posting this. How come the modems couldn’t communicate silently, or at least at a much lower volume?

I never experienced dial-up myself, but I have known this sound for a long time before seeing this video, and I did learn about dial-up a few years back, but the reason I, and probably many others like me, know the sound is because it's used a lot in movies and videos and shows and whatnot just as a sound effect

You are not the only one.
this sound was awesome, it meant you were about to be online: a magical place. not something ordinary, normalized, ever present. it was something you deliberately had to do, rather than unconscious habit. you used to be able to log off
True. You were connected on the information superhighway. As soon as you disconnected, it was like being parked in the garage again back in the natural world. Now we are almost literally connected to a digital world 24/7. With no option to exit.
The only major difference is back then a 500x500 png or jpg would take about 30 seconds to a minute or more to download to the screen. Today you can play 4k+ video from a stream instantly...
excellent comment
@@skilz8098 that was fun :) the pics were loading first the upper part than for every 10 seconds another segment. The boobies usually loaded in the second or 3rd segment :))
Bravo. It was like logging in to the Matrix.
I love how the video is 29 seconds long, and if I was able to log on and be on the internet in 29 seconds I would be blown away. It was usually 3-5 minutes of this before I could even click on the url bar. And the “best” thing was having to log off after a couple minutes because someone needed to make a phone call. We’ve come so far.
Even for back then that sounds kindof long to click the url bar, so let me guess: Your computer was riddled with a shitload of programs running at once, a bunch of browser search bars filled with spyware, and maybe a virus or 2? Being a tech support guy in the 90's was really easy because no one really understood proper computer maintenance.
@@Drbeckerproductions It was early days man. I may have over estimated how long it took, (I was probably 9 the last time I used it) but during peak hours, 30 seconds was rare. 1-3 minutes wasn’t unusual. And you’re also not wrong about our computer at the time. I don’t remember it being slow after finally getting on, it was just old and crappy.
Plus that you had to pay for every minute you were online. Those were the days.
It took me 30 mins or even more sometimes and when I finally connected my grandpa lifted the phone tube as his ritual before going night night😅
I remember one time it took me 5 minutes to load the Google page, lol, good old dial-up, I kind of miss it. I remember my mum telling me not to go the internet before 6 PM, because it was free after then.
I wasn't old enough to live through this, but it still sounds nostalgic for some reason.
I had to show my younger friends how It was back then. The classic and iconic dial-up sounds. Cool video. ^_^

I used to also connect to BBS and sometimes direct connect; there were some games with the modem mode (like multiplayer nowadays).
It still does, you just don't realize it, because the internet is space, and space is time, and time is distance, and distance is relative, and relatives are us, and we are all human.

Put this one a 10 hour loop every night while I sleep. Helps drown out the blood curdling screaming.

This audio sounds too clear and clean to be authentic. Which baffles me more to see on a video that's 15 years old
Remember the joy of finally establishing a successful connection? Yeah
after 20 minutes "oh cool, my picture loaded!"
Yeah, back then surfing for porn really sucked...

Matthew Litteral I was born in 1991, but I still remember spinning around in my family's computer chair waiting for a page to load. I also remember how the ethernet cable kept coming out of the wall and how I put a Harry Potter book there to hold it in place. :)
'Don't use the phone, I'm on the internet!!'
TURN OFF THE TV THE TOILETS OVERFLOWING!!!
@@bryanmartinez6600 i hate when that happens
Turn off the microwave, my laptop is on the internet!
I needed this.
This makes me reflect my time in primary school. CRT monitors with Windows XP and that paperclip that would try and make life easier... I'm pretty sure there was another animation as well...
Accessing RUclips only via Internet Explorer because that's the only web browser available then. Man, I remember how basic the RUclips website was compared to how it is now... the old logo!! I remember sometimes the hyperlinks being in Times New Roman

I was in college before I used Windows XP. Windows 3.1, where you had to type a command in the DOS prompt to launch the operating system, is how I learned to use a computer (at home) circa 5th grade. Middle school introduced us to the Apple IIe, with a couple of Macs in the computer lab.
Office XP had a number of assistants you could choose from, I think the dog became most peoples' default as least annoying. The ball was the cursed choice.

Downloading 70MB and being on edge for hours, hoping that mom doesn't need to use the phone.
This was my exact experience trying to download the Interstate '76 demo from the Gamespot website back in '97
them good ol' days? Am I right?
These days I can download 70 megabyte in like 3 seconds, but it just doesn't have the same sense of adventure on it.
I am amazed how nostalgia makes people appreciate even the crappiest of conditions.
Now i download a gigabyte in 1 min or less
Supernoxus I completely agree with you bro lmao nostalgia is so powerful
Recently had high speed fibre broadband installed to my house in the middle of nowhere. Speed test shows 600mbps. The old phone socket that gave me 56k internet access in the year 2000 is still on the skirting board beside my PC. I had to find this video for nostalgia!
If you had told me back then, I'd see a internet speed like that in this house, I would have said no chance. It only took 24 years!
I remember when we got broadband back in the early 2000s (Sweden, low income apartment complex area). It was crazy because the government subsizided the whole thing. Everyone that owned a building and wanted install broadband got a blank check from the government to do so (literally free money).
Within a year we went from "slow and expensive 56K-dial up kbps" to "cheap mbps at a fixed price per month" "Surf until your eyes bleed, you can be on the net 24/7 if you want to, it will still be the same price."
It went so damn fast that looking back on it was insane.
@@Vollification I heard about how Scandinavian countries were very early adopters, broadband pipes going in the late 90s. The high speed fibre initiative in Ireland (mainly aimed at rural areas now, cities and towns have had fast Internet for years) has been made free too.
This brought me so much nostalgic joy
Me: Hey PC gimme Internet.
PC: Sure but first let me sing you the song of my people.

What a wonderful sound❤️
Ah yes, the formative years of AOL. Back when you couldn't be on the phone and internet at the same time, the fucking memories man. MISS THOSE DAYS!
"Mom, get off the phone! I want to sign on to AOL." "No son, I have to use the telephone." The most common argument in the 90s.
here's the funny thing, dunno how it worked there in the US, but here, taking the phone off the hook would NOT cutoff internet access. But the person at the phone end would just listen to internet screech. And i believe phone was muted at that point since talking didn't do anything.
So instead a common argument was "UGH GET THE HELL OUT OF THE INTERNET I WANT TO USE THE PHONE". This between me and my sister.
And yes, I used it from 98-99 until November 2002. Think it was used earlier though, just not by me.
Tiago Costa I actually live in Canada, and taking the phone off the hook won't stop internet access. Although, yes, you will still hear the screeching sound coming through the phone. Talking wouldn't do anything since the line is being used. Just for fun I signed up for NetZero's 10 hour a month free dial-up internet access. And yes, using dial-up internet nowadays is definitely an interesting experience.

here in quebec it would hang the connection that is how used to
make my brother stop using the computer ahahah
i also remember we used AOL that we shared with neighbors since at this time Aol didnt have figured we could log 1-2-3-4-illimited time on one account
Tiago Costa It's not that it cut off the connection here per se, but it was very likely to cause the connection to crash, especially if you had a cheap modem with not very good error correction software. So in practical terms, someone picking up the phone very often meant losing one's connection.
guess i had a good modem then :P
oh compaq how we miss you
if she doesn't remember this. she's too young for you
The sad thing is I think we've reached a point where that's no longer true.....most 18 year olds probably don't remember this at all.
+The Liberal Lion it's true. I was in class and no one except for me knew, unless the shy ppl didn't want to raise their hand when the teacher asked who remembered the sound. Or maybe they weren't fortunate to have this back then
Still applies.
I'm 17 and remember remembering is not a good indication of age. I'd say down to 11 could remember.
Paradi-Len Kagamine Still. Applies. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
That feeling when you had to wait for someone to get off the landline to use the internet.
Heard this sm times, but never knew it was the dial up internet sound. Thanks.
Back when you couldn't use the internet and make a phone call at the same time.
