Ringtones of Mission Control "beeps" from Apollo program

In light of the recent 50th anniversary of the Apollo 11 moon landing, I made some ringtones out of the push-to-talk "beep" that was so commonly heard during radio transmissions from Mission Control to the Apollo spacecrafts.

That beep is known as a Quindar tone: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quindar_tones

Here are the links to download the ringtones. There are three files each: an "in" tone, an "out" tone, and then an "in + out" tone.

.m4r - https://we.tl/t-01Zz0yveFQ

To me there's just something so evocative and iconic in those simple sine waves. It's almost soothing.
