Can't figure out what this is, Any Ideas?

Found on frequency 414.175 on SDR#

it sounds really odd, like a cross between a dial-up modem sound, and a roger bleep at the end. It repeats every 30-40 seconds

any ideas what it could be?

no it takes you to a short recorded clip of the audio I described in the first post

That sounds like a Pocsag pager..

It will be interesting to see what others get. I click on the link and I am taken to a site playing a song. I can't make this stuff up. Its a song by Tyler Jollymore.

i stunningly dislike sound cloud
for samples of stuff just put it on your google drive or One drive or apple cloudy thingy or even the Amazon cloud drive thingy, they are all free!!!!!!
and share a link to it , all of your other stuff is still private and unseen
and then my browser wont be taken over by a song playing very loud that i have no control over except when playing the sample that is very quiet and short
soundcloud is just one more groups ( i believe the board techs union?) attempt at trying to milk the last dusty scuffed up cent out of everyone by torturing us with loud ads and songs we dont want to hear

cool!
now it plays real nice in a browser tab

ive never heard that one before
it does have some pocsag sound to it

hotpocket · Jul 9, 2016

I was almost wondering if it could be for an MDT (mobile data terminal) for the fire department, as I live directly across the street from the fire hall, and have never gotten that noise any onther time. or maybe part of the London Transit Commissions automatic vehicle locator system?

only reason I'm kind of leaning away from POCSAG is from all the audio samples I've listened to, it seems like it should be longer in its bursts, or continuous. Maybe its the pagers they use at Wal-Mart

It definitely sounds like some type of pager.. You could try using PDW or Poc32 and see if they will decode anything from it..

The only time I've seen the walmart radios, they've had Wi-Fi available? I wonder if they're hooked into that? They are Motorola though

Did a quick search in Industry Canada's Spectrum Direct system and can't find any licensed user for that frequency in Hamilton...

Could be a protected license.

It's raw paging data. If you listen to it long enough you'll probably here a voice recording announcing who it belongs to. (Hint)

hotpocket · Oct 13, 2016

I apologize for bumping an old thread, but this is still bugging me. I've listened to it many times, and piped it through to PDW, and no results. it sounds very similar to this AFSK paging link from signalid AFSK Paging Link - Signal Identification Wiki

Are you near a hospital?

hotpocket · Oct 13, 2016

No, but these are some of the things I do live near.

- London Fire Department Station 7
- Fanshawe College
- Walmart (at Northland Mall)

think it could somehow be related to any of those?
