  The NBC chimes?

  That was too easy. LD wins NOTHING buy correctly guessing the NBC chimes, which the TV network still uses. NBC radio no longer exists.
  The notes, by the way, are G, E, C.

  Chuck: Isn’t ironic that NBC was founded by RCA, which eventually was acquired by General Electric Company - GEC, same as the chime notes? The stock symbol for General Electric,, however, is just GE.

  Truly eerie, or Erie, as in Pennsylvania, where GE builds locomotives.

  I’ll play along. Lake Erie borders on Cleveland, where they have the Rock ‘N Roll Hall of Fame, where inductees include Martha and the Vandellas, whose big hits include “Jimmy Mac,” which should be reprised and retitled “IndyMac, when are you comin’ back?,” which evokes the current banking crisis, which I heard about on NBC, which is owned by GE, which has a factory in Erie.

  OK, now I’m tired and I’m gonna ake a nap. And I ain’t comin’ back.

  Mr. Cunningham. I believe you will need more than a nap to recover from that deep thought provoking insight.

  But then again, I believe hibernation is out of the question during this season. Have a good nap, Pat.

  Supposedly, the only other copyright on an audio sound was the creaking door from “Inner Sanctum”, which was also on NBC.

  The sound was re-used 25 years later on “CBS Radio Mystery Theater”.
