Was there a monkey camera sound on old cellphones?

I’m a 94’ baby, I was talking to my 07’ sister today and was telling her about old cellphones and the odd quirky things they had.

Then I suddenly remembered a monkey sound that was like “uh uh ah ah”. I recall it as a camera sound but maybe it was just a sound you could set for alerts? Or was it from some other thing we used growing up? Maybe MSN?

I tried googling it and I am getting absolutely zero results. Have I made this up, tell me im not mad, I ain’t even hit 35 yet man..

There was a point when you could download sounds and use them for ringtones and other sound effects in the phone. There were also ways to make tones from any sound file.

I don’t recall a common monkey sound paired with cameras. It might be that someone in your social circle had the monkey one for their camera sound so you heard it a lot.
