A friend of mine was placed on hold when calling a Krispy Kreme store a day ago, and has started a bit of a quest/contest to find the hold music they were using. It's an odd, minor key electronic/classical loop about 1 minute in length. After searching YouTube and various hold music sites, I'm pretty sure it must be a default hold tune on some model of PBX, but I don't have nearly enough experience to identify it. So the two sample videos we have found featuring the music are here: and here: Does anyone happen to recognize this strange little tune? Appearance is everything.

I can't believe whoever is using it has actually listened to it. -Hal CALIFORNIA PROPOSITION 65 WARNING: Some comments made by me are known to the State of California to cause irreversible brain damage and serious mental disorders leading to confinement.

Thanks for the reminder that it is a thing! Definitely will include that in our searching. I'm honestly not sure why we care, but it's a fun search if nothing else. Appearance is everything.

Somebody there might even be able to tell you about their "interesting" MOH music. -Hal CALIFORNIA PROPOSITION 65 WARNING: Some comments made by me are known to the State of California to cause irreversible brain damage and serious mental disorders leading to confinement.

One system I remember had "Greensleeves" as the music on hold music plus I think it had one other equally bad tune for a choice of one of two. I think maybe Extrom or Code-a-Phone? Two unusual systems from the '80's John 807
