What is Phone Serialism?


1.

The phenomenon of two or more telephones in an office or at home ringing at, or nearly at, the same time with irritatingly dissonant musical intervals such as seconds and augmented fourths.

Oh, man, it's really getting busy in the office right now. There's phone serialism going on now---the phones are ringing off the hook!
