The first time I heard Rock the Casbah by The Clash, it was in the time of Nokia phones, and there is a part in the background of that song that I swear sounds like a Nokia ringtone.

I honestly have no idea how they even made the sound as the song came out decades before cellphone ringtones were a thing.

It was a digital wristwatch:

The version of the song on Combat Rock, as well as many other Clash compilations, features an electronic sound effect beginning at the 1:52 minute point of the song. This noise is a monophonic version of the song "Dixie". The sound effect source was generated by the alarm from a digital wristwatch that Mick Jones owned.
