Services that insert sounds into mobile phone conversations
A growing number of tech providers now offer "sound
insertion" services for mobile phone users. Think: ringtones you
plug into the "body" of a voice conversation. Sonic emoticons. Ronan
Higgins of cafe.com says:
Lightwav for PalmOne Treo smartphones has a feature
called "CoverUp Sound" where you can trigger sounds to play in the
phone conversation.
I hear that this application is popular in Japan with cheating
"salary men" husbands. They'll trigger sounds of a train station, a
busy office or a bar, while explaining to their wives why they won't
be home until later. Single men trigger the sound of a girl in the
background saying "come back to bed" to make their male friends
jealous.
I use it to insert a bad connection effect: "I can't
hear you, you're breaking up on me, I'm losing signal, I'll have to
call you back about that. Kshhhh."
Cover-up sound is only available on the Treo® 600
