We’re probably among a few who know what an interval signal is.

A little radio trivia for those who are not quite bored enough yet: For shortwave broadcasts, an interval signal was a repetitive loop often of music or musical notes given a few minutes before the broadcast officially began - this was so listeners could find and tune in the station on their old analog receivers.
