When touch tone phones were first introduced they required a digital switch to interpret the tones. The phone company had to replace the analog switches but couldn't do all of them at once. The work around was the tone was interpreted into analog and the switch would dial it. You'd hear tic tic tic count for the number you pressed. I always thought a white gloved mechanical hand was dialing for me.
