Subwoofers wouldn’t have much to do with it because all the pitches were pretty high. Although now I’m wondering what it would sound like pitched way down into subwoofer range.
Turning off the modem speaker is an essential skill to learn for late-night dialing!
Ah, THERE’S the screechy dial-up noise we all know and hate.
Hang on, though. Those noises come from the modem, not from AOL. The two are entirely independent of each other. Hasn’t Michelle tried to connect to the internet before? Surely she must have, being the adorable tech geek that she is.
@MegaJar: I assume Prodigy worked differently, or didn’t play you the sound of the modem dialing in.

Oh yes the old dial up screech. So ear-pierecing, yet was surprising how much you got used to it.
Oh, come on! the dial up sound wasn’t THAT loud. Michelle added subwoofers, didn’t she?

Man. My modem was never THAT loud.
You call that sound annoying and horrible; I found it comforting. It was basically the Internet’s theme song.
Ah, dial-up modems. Who DIDN’T it annoy back then?
The Audience is Now Deaf
Ah, the (not so) good old (and NOISY) dial-up sound!
Well, now neither Michelle nor her family are going to be able to use their phones.
I’m assuming that Michelle is smart enough to know this, but it’d be funny if she tried calling Joel to share her excitement only to realize…
Dial up, the most painful Internet sound.
Noisy traffic on the ol’ Information Superhighway
The information superhighway is having a rocky start.
The computer version of “The Audience is Listening” wasn’t so impressive.
Oh yeah, I forgot computers ran on dial-up back then. Ain’t technological advancements magnificent? LOL
