Yes it’s old, I know.
In this opening theme, that deeply unsettling fuzzy vibrato tone.
I’m sure it’s copying some kind of hospital sound effect, like an old-tech intercom tone or a warning buzzer, but I just cannot fucking place it. I know I know this sound.
It’s driving me nuts. Can someone please tell me what it is? Bonus points if you can link to a recording.
It sounds like a dial tone to me, with a lot of fuzz. Could be a pager, as doctors used to use them a lot.
