Dial-Up modem sound is creepy when slowed down 700%

It's a sound that few of us have heard since the last time we saw a modem that looked like the one above. Still, it's a sound that will always be recognized by anyone born in the 80s or earlier - the dial-up modem sound.

We may have moved on and there may no longer be a need to hear that ever-so-annoying high-pitched whine again in its original form, but the people over at Geektastic slowed it down for us a lot and gave us something that can only be described as creepy.

Listen to this and imagine it in a scene from an old M. Night Shyamalan film (think Sixth Sense and not much after that). Chilling.
