Oof, I see your royal mail, and raise you my local council’s council tax “hotline.”
Much prefer listening to something like this, with the phone line distortion and tinnyness, over some wanky ‘feel good’ pop music tune.
No Mr Williams, I have heard your song on repeat for the past half an hour. Your song as best is tolerable, but it is now verging on torture. I will not be happy.
Funny, today there was a bit about hold music on BBC R4 WatO. Is Sarah Montague on reddit?
Used to work for a company that did virtual secretary work for a number of different companies. Most of it was boring hold music, but bizarrely the funeral directors had some insane 80s synth/disco vibes, it was so inappropriate but everyone on the team would get very excited at the chance to blast it on loudspeaker when it popped up.
Can’t remember who has this hold music but I hear it a lot:
Thing is, outside of the context of waiting to chat to someone, or being annoyed about something and wanting to have a moan, it’s actually a really nice little tune.
The Post Office should use Bring Me the Horizon for all their music…

Nothing beats HMRC hold music imo. It’s so good.
luckily never had to be on hold to RM.
[This, 3CX hold music though](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Dj2ERUiXNo) gives me PTSD after installing and supporting this system for years.
