At about 0:52 through Intolerance there seems to be a phone ringing.
Can anyone else hear this?
Am I wrong, is it some other noise? It just happened to sounds uncannily like my phone, the first time I heard Intolerance I got up to answer the phone until I realised that it wasn't ringing. Heh.
I don't necessarily hear what you are talking about. I do hear some high-pitched pinch harmonics that Adam is doing in the right channel, though. That's about it.

it was in the FAQ but it was for "Opiate" to quote the FAQ "E5. I'm listening to "Opiate" (the song), and at like 4:51 I hear my kitchen phone ringing. What's wrong with my CD?
Nothing; the band's just tooling around with you." so maybe the same applies here...

ill be damned, i thought i was the only person that read the faq..
I do not hear any phone ringing on Intolerance, but there is definitly one in Opiate. That sound always gets me. I think that the phone is ringing and run to answer it. Damn Tool to hell.
Yeah, I hear it. Like an old-school one that uses a bell rather than beeping (like an analog).
To add, listen to the secondary vocals in "I will not tolerate you" at 3:40. creeeeepy ass shit. The "you" is like one voice, but that voice hits two tones (a major 3rd) That sounds so . . . demonic.
Gonna have to use that sometime.

Yeah, I agree with Convoy_X...I think it's just another one of TOOL's jokes or something. Because I have heard this phone ring, and the one in the song Opiate.

Yeah I can hear a weird high pitched sound at 0:52, I think thats what they're talkiing about (though it doesn't sound anything like a phone ringing to me)
You have to listen very closely to hear it, I'm pretty sure its a pich harmonic.
Yeah I really do not hear the noise that you are talking about at 52 seconds in but I hear some other oddities a little over a minute in. But those are all instruments, although odd none-the-less. I know that because I was in a band for two years and our guitarist like to do similar things, and make odd noices. It sounds way though, as for the vocal business that as well is sorta easy to do, especially on a multi track recorder. But still no phone noise, it is there for sure in Opiate.
and while youre at it, what's the squeaky sound at 3:55? I'm guessing it's from a synth, but....?
Thats a different kind of pick scrape, you basically turn the pick on its edge and put it on the G, B and E strings and move the egde of the pick on and off the three strings (in the same drection of the pickups, not the neck). Combine that with an open wah for a very interesting sound.
I read the Tool FAQ thing on toolshed ages ago, it said that they put a few little things like that on Undertow. Aswell as a telephone, there's shouting made to sound like a neighbour complaining of loud music during Sober. Maybe more, I can't remember.
