The recording is presented as the official sonnerie of Lycée Louis Armand, the bell system used in the school to mark lesson changes throughout the day. In France, the sonnerie is a central part of lycée life, sounding between periods, at break times and at the end of the school day. Clips like this one circulate on soundboards because students share the exact ringtone from their own school, compare it with other schools, and reuse it for jokes about classes ending early or starting again.
