<p>Anybody know what kind of algorithms/applications they use for this? Cuz I'm on hold right now and whenever the music overloads the system there's this wicked pink noise distortion that takes over the entire signal. I want to use it on everything.</p>

<p>In India, when I was recording localization IVRs, they used A-law 8-bit/8-kHz. I am not sure whether it is the international standard for telecom services. I am sure Europe is A-law algorithm as well and Northern America has u-law (Mu-Law) algorithm.</p>
