In Alexis Madriga article for the Atlantic, he describes the history of the modem sound that meant so much to an earlier generation. It's funny the way he describes it as something archaic whose sound is now being preserved in an online library for "Endangered Sounds". He goes on to describe what every part of the noise represents as it connects to the internet. He also describe how the different pitches of the modems sound often times represent the speed of the modem and the way it will be operate. It's an interesting read for explaining how a modem operated on a telephone system and the technological explanation for the sounds a modem would make.
