Thanks for making that! Boy is that more annoying than I remembered.

That's subjective! I made a song with that sound in 1998. It was called "Net Pet" and it did pretty well on mp3.com.

There's a hip-hop song I like that uses the dial-up sound as a motif: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PfhOWslHDSs

The dial-up sound just evokes that early Internet feel so perfectly...

I’d just nod my head to the sound

It sounded a lot less enthusiastically piercing through a speaker embedded inside a steel computer :)
