Whooptones, which lets you inject sounds into your conversations, simply by pressing keys on your phone, has now launched a new feature called "Scenes".
Scenes are looping background sounds that let users create the illusion that they are anywhere they want to be during their phone calls, such as:
- at the airport about to board a flight,
- stuck on a busy highway with a flat,
- at the office, busier than ever, or
- schmoozing with friends at a party.
Users can use Scenes to back-up their story, set the mood, or simply amuse friends. Scenes works with any fixed or mobile phone.
