I totally agree! Why can't we have silence? Talbots' hold music is absolutely torture!!!! It's the worst. I have to take Advil if I'm put on hold on the Talbots line.

It is horrible.  Silence is golden

IMO whoever you call has music on hold so the caller knows they are on hold and haven't been disconnected. That's my take on it.

Ideally, your time on hold should be short enough that the music doesn't get to you.  I think that should be your complaint/request:  make on-hold times shorter.

Maybe that is the goal.

What is good for the goose today will also be good for the gander tomorrow.
