I will never be silenced!

Dial tone still exists. Pretty much every business phone that’s most likely a VoIP line still generates dial tone to the user’s headset.

Last time I heard a dial tone was just a second ago when I pushed the speakerphone button on my Cisco ip phone.

I still hear a dial-up modem when I close my eyes

I have a landline, I hear a dial tone every time I pick up the phone.

I listen to it every day at work when connecting to customers alarm systems.

if you have tinnitus it never really stopped

On a similar note for parents: At some point, you did/will pick your child up and then put them down for the last time.

I have a captain crunch whistle so I hear it anytime I want to!

What's even worse is in some countries the file tone was a pretty good match for a guitar note so some musicians would use it as a starting point to tune their guitars.

My phone makes a dial tone the moment I press a single key on the keypad to make a call. 🤷🏻‍♂️

It's not the same as picking up a landline; it's just the phone app adding it probably to let you know you're dialing.

I heard one about a week ago

I heard it last night in a movie. From an actual phone, it's been a few years, but less than 10. EDIT: actually, less than 3 years as I had to fax paperwork to get my internet. Japan!

My work has landlines, so I still get to hear it

I don’t know. I have several old phones and a touch tone dialing adapter. I like the experience. I can say with high confidence that I’ll hear a dial tone in the future.

Plus, watch any movie from the seventies through the nineties that includes a phone, and you’ll probably hear a dial tone.

Sadly, I had to fax documents recently.

My work uses VoIP and when I call anyone I hear a dial tone.

Sometimes I pick up the phone behind my desk and just listen to the dial tone. Having a voip line from my fiber internet provider is cheap. Sometimes I’ll use it to connect my old computers to the line and dial into the few remaining bbs.
