A low-frequency alternating current signal detector for recognizing tone signals in a central office line interface circuit connecting a private telephone installation to an analog telephone network subscriber line. The low-frequency alternating current signal detector includes an amplifier (1) connected to the input of a bandpass filter (2) and to the input of a first rectifier-filter (3), a second rectifier-filter (4) and a threshold presence detector (5) connected to the output of the bandpass filter (2). The output of the threshold presence detector (5) selectively enables comparison by a comparator (6) of the bandpass filter input and output signals and signalling of the presence of an alternating current signal.
