Recording Tone Indicates whether a recording tone (often referred to as 
a beep tone) is enabled or disabled for the phone. If the 
recording tone option is enabled, the phone plays the 
beep tone in both directions of every call, regardless of 
whether the call actually gets recorded. The beep tone 
first sounds when a call is answered.
You may want to notify your users if you enable this 
option.
Default: Disabled

defines tones. This xml file is usually named tones.xml 
or g3-tones.xml.
