I remember telephone numbers by the tone of each numeral and can “replay” every telephone number I’ve personnally ever had by sounding them out. How’s that for useless, lol?
That’s wonderful! :-)
You remember them as though they were a little tune played using the touch-tone pad.
That is similar to the way I copy morse code. Complete words have a sound that is like a little tune.
i.e. Hi is dit dit dit dit_ dit dit. That word, “Hi”, sent twice or more is how amateur radio guys signify laughter on the air...much like “lol” is used on the web.
Actually, each telephone touch-tone sound is a chord made up of two frequencies played at the same time. The reason for two tones is to eliminate the possibility that normal sounds like a whistle might register as a touch tone.
