A worthy question. Anything to further the cause of FReeper Applied Science!

> Here in the northern hemisphere, the traditional phone produces a sound similar to “BRRRRRRRRINNNNG!” when receiving an incoming call, is it true that in the southern hemisphere, the sound is closer to “GNNNNNIRRRRRRRRRB”?

Here in New Zealand it is a double-ring, both for Ring Tone and Ring Voltage (ibid.)

Sorta like “Brrrrrrrring!-—Brrrrrrrring!.......” or, depending on your phone “Tooodledoooodledoooo!-—Tooodledoooodledoooo!”

(Note capitalization: lowercase is softer than uppercase)

It’s an annoying ring, guaranteed to wake you up, or make you sprint into the house from the backyard barbecue, or...

Hope that helps!

It does indeed. But now I'm wondering, if you were to throw that annoying phone into the toilet, would it circle clockwise or counter-clockwise when you hit the flush lever? ;)
