Can a DoS attack cause the modem to make noise?

[kreep]

I was on my friend's computer when I was attacked via DoS. I heard my modem making noise like you hear when you pick up the phone but through the modem speaker. I want to know if the two are related. If not then what could it be?

This is a bit late, but it sounds as if the computer told the modem to disconnect, then to go off-hook again.<br><br>There's no predicting, or really analyzing, what a computer will do when subjected to a DoS attack.&nbsp;&nbsp;It depends on the nature of the attack, the operating system, and <b>exactly</b> what the computer was doing (which instruction the CPU was executing) at the moment the attack caused it to stop working properly.
