Let's Hear About... The Nokia Ringtone
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
If you grew up in the early 2000s, you've heard it. Probably thousands of times. But do you know where it actually came from?
The Nokia ringtone is one of the most recognised sounds in human history, heard an estimated 1.8 billion times a day at its peak. But behind that four-bar melody is a story most people have never heard. A 100-year-old Spanish guitar composition, a copyright loophole, and a tune that became the accidental soundtrack to an entire era.
This is the first episode of Let's Hear About... a new series digging into the stories behind the sounds that shaped our lives.
