the noise is testing certain speeds between the host and
your client.

Thus, as the noises are going off, it is actually testing
the max speed to reliably talk at.

that screeth noise is your pc talking with the server you're
trying to dial into, saying "here is ma username and
password, will you let me in?" the server checks and
accordingly validates the data and establishes a connection.
because we are talking analogue data exchange over usually
more than 5km of cable, select frequencies are chosen to
communicate on, they happen to be frequencies we can hear,
which is exactly what you're hearing. on DSL, in principle
the same thing occurs, except on frequencies outside our
aural awareness spectrum. plus it's digital, less error,
security for another......things like that

The noise is basically the digital information from your
computer turned into an analogue waveform for transmission
over the phone system. It is a handshake then the
authentication. Even once you have connected those sounds
are still going on, just the modem stops outputting them
through its speaker. Like old cassette based computer
systems, they made a similar noise.

Whenever you connect to the internet it really hurts
the modem.

What you hear are screams of pain
