Sound In Conference Call Definitely Snoring
The marketing sales team at the Chicago office of Foote, Cone and Mr. Belding correctly identified the sound coming from the Polycom SoundStation2 “starfish” phone in the DaVinci Room as snoring early Monday, according to officials with the Cook County Sound Institute. The sound, which reportedly began approximately 22 minutes after the start of the weekly sales call, continued unabated for nearly 27 minutes, and registering levels as high as 61 decibels, likely originated from the San Francisco office of the ad agency. ”While we’re still not 100% certain,” said Klaus von Hefschtietel, a sound analyst from CCSI, “We think we have narrowed the source of the sound down to Chip Langely or Ryan Tiergarten, both employees in the San Francisco office who were scheduled to be on the call. The frequency of the oscillations and the pitch of saw pattern indicate Mr. Langely may be the source, but we cannot get the Chicago employees to stop laughing long enough to confirm or deny our suspicion.”
