Why is a phone ringing on the TV show's sound track?

Our silly dog barks at the door when a phone rings on television. It sounds nothing like a doorbell, but you can’t convince her.

Due to overcrowding, they have to make due with being placed into the level filled with child molestors and people who talk during movies.

Everytime my mother hears a doorbell on TV she thinks it’s someone at our door… I tell her it was on the TV. I often wonder if I’ve left some misfortune standing on the doorstep because I thought it was a doorbell on TV…?

A good few years ago there was a song in the [UK] charts that had birdsong in the chorus, used to drive people’s cats mental, and they’d leap around trying to find the birds. Sadly it was pre internet and smartphones…

This may be a bit obscure but starting about ten or fifteen years ago I started to notice that anytime there’s a scene around technology of some kind, a computer room, an airline cockpit, a laboratory etc. the sound of an old MFM hard drive could always be heard. It’s hard to describe exactly but they were in the original IBM PCs and clones and have a very distinct, sort of squeaky sound. Animated shows in particular use this.
