Ahh.

The sound was also very different with the later modems. I started on a 9600 baud, and moved to 14400, 28800, and eventually 56k, and they all had different sounds.

My first one already was a 28k one, shortly after followed by the 56k one my parents then kept using for the next 15 years, so I don't quite share your unique experience here... :-)
