Abstract
As part of a system and method for transmitting a signaling tone over a packet switched data (or other communication) network, an audio encoder may have a speech encoding unit and a tone distorter. The tone distorter may distort one or more components of a signaling tone within an audio signal and the speech encoding unit may encode speech and the distorted signaling tone within the audio signal. A control signal may be sent to a tone generator to reproduce the distorted tone.
