ALL Old Modem Sounds (300 baud to 56K)

Here's a compilation I made of every major modem standard used in North America (Bell 103, V.22(bis), V.32(bis), V.34, V.90, and V.92), corresponding to 300 bps, 2400 bps, 14.4K, 33.6K, and 56K. Those of you who actually used the older (pre-V.34) standards might notice some slight differences in the sounds (with respect to timing) - this is because these were all made with a ~2005 embedded Conexant V.92 laptop softmodem. Using the AT+MS command, the modem can be forced to use older modulations, but since it's a softmodem, all the calculations are done by the CPU which causes some lag. Traditional external modems used their own DSPs which didn't experience this latency.

I worked for an ISP in the 1990s, I could tell you the speed and modulation type just by listening. More often than not I'd just ask the customer to turn their modem's volume up and be quiet and I could tell them what the issue was just by listening to the modem.

2400bps pure ASCII (no ANSI color codes) would scroll faster than you could read it. 300bps is very slow but in its heyday, it was commonly used by teletype machines which couldn't really print faster than that except really high end models. Terminals didn't have such a problem so modems started getting faster. Fast forward to today where I just hooked up a 100gigabit Ethernet connection. That's 41.67 million times faster than my first modem (2400bps)

They're very similar standards, and hit the market within a year of each other. Early in its development, V.90 was expected to be the final modem standard, but some of the more complex problems were delayed to get it out the door sooner. Most V.90 modems gained support for V.92 with a firmware upgrade.

You inspired me to do it the hard way! I was figuring if you did it that way, then the carrier MUST be intact, so I wanted to see if I could "demodulate" it with audacity and notepad, and it worked! I don't have an acoustic coupler BTW. Answering modem: CCCCCC@UQKT2 Welcome to phl6-dial1.popsite.net login:CACTUS Password: % Authentication failed login: Originating modem: CACTUS BAC That layout may be incorrect because I'm not sure how to render vertical tabs. Took me about 5 hours, with about one hour just figuring out how everything was encoded, and trying to figure out how to get Audacity to give me a proper spectrogram to go off of. Total 1008 bits (combined egress and ingress) so my baud rate is 21.4 seconds per bit :D Could probably do it faster if I had to do it again tho. I might make a video showing how it all works one of these days. Screenshot of working with Audacity: imgur.com/mkTQHfx

Also remember us friends calling each other just to have an idle modem answer the call and we would whistle back to the modem in hope that it would silence itself so we could scream over the modem speaker to switch over to the phone.

In the days of phone phreaking, some numbers that you called that would not go through/gave a busy signal were "talkable", meaning if 2 distant phones called that number at the exactly same time...they could talk to each other...

FSR I remember the 2400 beeping two fewer times than it did here. I had modem on hold ("Internet Call Waiting") with Bell Canada in 1998. I actually had broadband (it was something like 300 or 600 kbps) then too, but I was staying somewhere where I had to use dialup. It included call display, which the person I was staying with didn't have. I'd often tell her who was calling when the phone rang.

Glad to hear these, old memories came back. I remember there were also three other handshake sounds missing in this video, the first one was V.FC (V.Fast Class 28.8K protocol from Rockwell), another one was K56flex (56K protocol from Rockwell) and the last one was x2 (56K protocol from US Robotics). These three were "transition products" which doesn't last long before replaced by V.34 and V.90 respectively. Just curious anyone got the handshake sounds of these three "rare" protocols? Thanks.

@lAMNOTGOOMBA 7 лет назад
I've personally never heard any of them myself, and although some people online say that Conexant modems, like the one I used here, support K56 since they bought out Rockwell, mine didn't. But, I found a few recordings on this website: modemsite.com/56k/trouble3.asp (They're all in classic '90s RealPlayer .RAM format, since, you know, that's the timeframe we're working with here.)

My ISP was supposed to have modem on hold but I never really figured out how to get it to work. Our telephone company upgraded your connection at the box etc to accommodate 56K. Sometime 'at the turn of the century' I adopted DSL, tried early VOIP and even attempted to live stream Woodstock '99 (that sorta failed miserably). My machine was a PIII with a dinky hard drive by today's standards but I still got some amazing things done with it!

There was an illusive true 72.5 kilobaud modem that was prototyped and used very sparsely between testers. I saw one. It was amazing for the time. But it was said that it could cause troubles with the telephone company and was never put into full production. It was much faster than the Kflex the x56 modems. I wanted to take that modem home so badly. But it would have only been able to go full speed with using it with another 72.5 modem. The housing of the modem became very hot when being used, yet it had no fan onboard.

I also remember one sound not heard here. It was V.90 I thought but towards the end of the handshake, instead of the buzzing up and down noise, you would hear a "bong-bong" sound instead.
@lAMNOTGOOMBA
@lAMNOTGOOMBA 7 лет назад
It had a TI chip if it made that sound (in V.90 mode the manufacturer can use their own proprietary training signal). The one I used in the video had a Conexant chip, which uses the crescendo sound. Here's what I assume you mean: goughlui.com/legacy/soundofmodems/v90-texasinstruments.mp3
@Nelwyn
@Nelwyn 7 лет назад
Yeah that's it. The modem I had did that sound cleanly by itself though. What I mean is the sound was isolated and the static stopped and that's all you heard when it did that then resumed briefly at the end.

Back then, you waited as you connect hoping it was connected successfully. If not, it would repeat those sounds resulting in a slower connection. You either had to reconnect or wait until a later time. And, you pick up the phone, your internet connection was lost and you had to painfully wait to reconnect. Oh yeah, the good ol days when web pages loaded up slowly or you had to wait several minutes for a 1 megabyte file or picture to download.

I am 24 and I remember a 33.6 kbps modem at my uncle's house. It was actually faster than our 56 kbps modem at home because we lived in a village of 2000 people in Slovakia with terrible analog phone lines, meaning our 56k modem always lapsed into 28.8 kbps mode. That was in 2003, meanwhile in a town 3 km from us where uncle lives ADSL was available by 2004 but for us it was 28.8 kbps until 2005. After that, parents bought an EDGE mobile modem and I played a LOT of Warcraft 3: TFT on Battle.net, something I could only dream about before. Since 2007, wireless broadband. Memories, we take wireless broadband so for granted nowadays. I remember being thrilled as a child when mom bought me to her office cause they had 128 kbps ISDN there.

56K was never reliable, I remember fielding hundreds of phone calls from angry customers demanding to know why they didn't get the advertised speeds and having to patiently explain it was because you were in the middle of rural England with a phone system that probably predates the Internet. 33.6 was generally more reliable, but the later V92 standard fixed many of the issues with 56K.... of course by then everything was moving to broadband anyway.
