I like this explanatory graphic (after many many years of listening to the dialup sounds) - https://oona.windytan.com/posters/dialup-final.png

And this version combining the graphic and the sound used to make the graphic: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=abapFJN6glo

And this alternative version (h/t @Kye): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jpMrTxMV6E4

Your link had a "slower" version, but I always like the really slow version:

lol, reminds me of this Monkey Dust one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o2j_hXHEjX4
Thanks for making that! Boy is that more annoying than I remembered.
That's subjective! I made a song with that sound in 1998. It was called "Net Pet" and it did pretty well on mp3.com.
There's a hip-hop song I like that uses the dial-up sound as a motif: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PfhOWslHDSs

The dial-up sound just evokes that early Internet feel so perfectly...

It sounded a lot less enthusiastically piercing through a speaker embedded inside a steel computer :)
I’d just nod my head to the sound
