Subaudible tone

A subaudible tone is a tone that is used to trigger an automated event at a radio station. A subaudible tone is audible; however, it is usually at a low level that is not noticeable to the average listener at normal volumes. It is a form of in-band signaling.

For the use of subaudible tones in two-way radio, see CTCSS.
