Does anyone know what the "cricket chirping" noise is on some Public Radio stations in between the regular broadcast stuff? Is that an interval signal?

Like between news stories and such? They're just indexing for the satellite feed, so proper cutting and pasting can be done without necessarily needing a person to do it. It's not the same as an interval signal in this sense, which is really more of an non-lingual station ID for international broadcasters. --Alexwcovington (talk) 08:29, 23 May 2005 (UTC)

Thank you! You are fabulous!! I've been wondering what that little sound is or meant for ages. Oh, well--there goes my pet theory about covert broadcasts to KGB spy crickets.  :-D

[edit] BBC World Service interval signals

BBC World Service in English: Bow Bells

I haven't heard Bow Bells as an i/s for a long time. Is it still used? -- Picapica 18:35, 18 March 2006 (UTC)
