Telephone - Ericsson Dbh15 (1947) - Ringing - European Standard 3

The first sound that fills the air in the DBH 15 S Library is the rough handling of the Ericsson DBH15 telephone handset. The sound of the handset being picked up and set down roughly in its cradle can be heard echoing through the empty aisles of the library. The clatter and clunk of the handset against the cradle create a jarring noise that disrupts the usual quiet of the space. It is a cacophony of sound that demands attention, drawing the focus of anyone within earshot. As the handset is replaced in its cradle, the library is once again filled with a different sound - the ringing of the Ericsson DBH15 telephone. The European standard ring tone is both familiar and foreign, a melody that signals an incoming call. The sound of the ringing phone adds a sense of urgency to the atmosphere of the library, a reminder of the outside world intruding upon the quiet sanctuary of the space. It is a sound that pierces through the stillness, demanding to be heard. In the midst of the library's hushed ambiance, the sounds of the Ericsson DBH15 telephone serve as a stark contrast. The clattering of the handset being picked up and set down roughly in its cradle and the ringing of the European standard ring tone disrupt the peaceful quiet of the space, creating an unexpected symphony of noise. The harmonious cacophony is a jumble of sound that captivates and intrigues, a reminder of the complex interplay of everyday noises that surround us. In a world filled with constant background noise, the sounds of the DBH 15 S Library offer a unique auditory experience. The rough handling of the telephone handset and the ringing of the phone are not mere sounds, but rather a window into a bygone era. These noises are a testament to the history and evolution of communication technology, a reminder of how far we have come from the simplicity of a rotary dial phone. They are aural artifacts that tell a story of progress and innovation, encapsulated in the everyday sounds of a long-forgotten telephone model. You can play and download these sounds here.
