Default Re: GPO/BT Call Progress Tones?

In past-times the UK phone-network would include very short 'pips' of in-band audible tones for various signalling purposes during call-setup and cleardown.

Though these have not been used for a few decades, it's still quite common for the sound-effects-people in radio-dramas to include them in "calling someone on the phone" scenes.
