Many years ago there was reputedly a pilot on one of the military transport fleets who was blessed with perfect pitch. The story went that he would listen to a SELCAL check and then, once the receiving aircraft had gone onto SELCAL watch, he would just transmit those tones. Apparently many long hours flogging across the pond were enlivened by the frustrated BA etc constantly answering their calls.
