I only ask because last week I was up late watching a german language teaching program (what can I say? I'm a geek and an insomniac ); anyway, one of the characters was practising telephone conversations and they made this weird "doot" "doot" sound to describe the phone ringing!
I thought they were just being silly

Yes, they do indeed make *doot* *doot*. But it's more the sound of the phone connecting - though some phones actually ring with *doot* these days (digital tones, you know).
