Makes sense now why every company always has some deep fried 10 second loop hold music…
The other day I had called a company… They had a music playlist of different elevator musics… I was on hold for well over an hour… No song repeated.
I don’t know if I should be impressed that there was no repeats… or if I should be scared to ever do more business with them since it’s clear they thought about putting people on hold for longer than an hour.
sounds like they messed with Louis Rossman
God I love the Cisco Call Manager default hold music and I don’t know why. I don’t mind holding at all when it’s this.
It’s called “Opus Number 1”

Out of date tbh - It’s never a labyrinthine phone tree anymore, it’s a “natural speech” based menu that can never help with more than the most basic inquiries like “how much is my bill?” and still stubbornly refuses to put you in the queue for a real person.
The worst is when they phrase the response as if there was just some slight, funny misunderstanding on the part of the machine; “Sorry, I didn’t quite catch that! Did you want to…”
For some reason that one really drives my ire.
I’ve got a worse one than that- a fake typing sound effect. I’ve heard that one more than once.
It doesn’t even take swearing for some of them - I had one earlier this week that hung up on me when I tried pressing zero to see if that got me anywhere. Touchier than humans.
Love to scream at my phone because the fucking robot can’t understand me.
Key presses are so simple! Why do I have to talk to the dumb fucking robot?!
Pro tip: If you start yelling the robot will forward you to a real person. I personally just yell my McDonalds order
