shills & trolls and weirdos (oh my)

Is this a weak attempt at a vendetta post or what?

This thread is looking awfully trolly, given the time stamps.

Wow. Mr. Grammer. 1st of all I'm replying to a person that is breaking the law. And 2nd of all, you don't have a clue who I am, and don't try to act like you have the right to correct anyone, 3rd of all I'm in the middleofa conference call typing on a cell phone.
See I'm trying to help people from being bullied.  Something apparently you know how to do "Bully people".  Also why you're at it, Why don't you do a little research prior to your [***] remarks. I have always got a kick out of judgmental people that most likely have an 8th grade education.

And Tygerkat as a screen name explains it all...

We have Taylor the sad little shill here: https://800notes.com/Phone.aspx/1-855-278-7361/2#p1695865313686384361

I saw your post and Taylor got trimmed.  It's a pleasure doing business with you Miss Kat*!

Wow. I bet that stops them dead in their tracks and you never get called again since most people are too polite. Boat horns and whistles work for me. Well, not on the scam calls, I still get a lot of those but I really groove making hella big noise.

The only damage you're going to do with boat horns and whistles is to your own hearing.  Modern telephone communications systems heavily filter and limit the dynamic range of audio, and as such can't transmit harmful sounds.

So very witty. What are you - 10?

I believe Birdy was being facetious and would agree that telephone audio is normally attenuated.

I tested this a few years ago with phone tap recorders and an audio mix board, all of which provided VU metering. I blasted different phone types with a steel whistle at full lung capacity, and the meters couldn't lie. At the input end the levels plowed into the red. At the receiving end the levels were modest and the audio was a pathetic sustained chirp at best. Also, I gave myself a headache from hearing both the whistle directly and my own shrill noise returned through the input phone as I blasted.

I was an R&D electrical design engineer in the 80s and early nineties.  We designed digital subscriber carrier telephone systems, right after the big Telco breakup that allowed for competition to Bell Labs.  Our systems allowed a Telco to use two existing pairs of phone wires (two lines), put our boxes at both ends, and send 128 calls down those pairs of wires.  Visualize a couple farmers outside town selling their farms to developers, who put in a hundred condo units. It was cheaper for a Telco to put in our boxes than it was to trench or string 100 pairs of phone wire. But I digress.

The chips we used for the phone interface contained a very steep bandpass filter from 300-3kHz, (which was the Telco standard), and a dynamic range limiter.  This significantly limited both the frequency and "loudness" of phone conversations, but didn't degrade the voice audio much, because the vast majority of the human voice information (and modems!) is between 300Hz and 3,000Hz.  Doing both of these things allowed for bandwidth requirement reductions, so that we need dedicate only eight bits to each conversation at the Nyquist sample rate of 8kHz.  The 64kb standard for Plain Old Telephone Service (POTS) still exists today.

BTW, many people know that 8 bits is a "byte", but did you know that four bits is known as a "nibble"?  True story.

I'll assume you're joking.  Also, that link doesn't work.
