Dialing tones are made up of Dual Tone Multi Frequency tones for what reason?

Two main reasons for using dual-tone multi-frequency for touch-tone dialing are:
- Reduced chance of accidental entry of numbers by background noise, and
- Fewer frequencies to recognize in the telephone switch.

What is dual-tone multi-frequency dialling?
Dual-tone multi-frequency dialing refers to the fact that when a non-rotary phone dials, it sends two tones at the same time. When these tones are put together, a distinct sound is created, which is recognized by the switch at your phone service provider.
What is touch tone dialing?
Touch Tone was a trademarked name used for the system technically known as DTMF, or Dual-Tone Multi-Frequency, dialing. In DTMF, pressing each key on a telephone dial produces two different tones. Each row and each column of the dial is assigned a specific frequency (pitch) of tone, so the combination of the two tones uniquely identifies the key that was pressed. The telephone switch receives and decodes the tones in order to process the call. This is in contrast to pulse or rotary dialing, in which a series of electrical pulses or clicks are sent through the telephone wire, either by turning a rotary dial or by generating the clicks electronically. The telephone switch counts the number of clicks to get each digit that is dialed.
What is the difference between rotary and touch tone dialing?
1) Pulse dialing sends number in terms of pulses while the tonedialingsends the number in form of tones " dtmf"2) pulsedialingis slower than tone dialing 3)pulse dialing doesn't use keypad while tone dialing use 4) pulse dialing isobsessed while tone dialing is modern
Can the ear distinguish two pure tones having the same frequency and amplitude?
No, the ear cannot distinguish two pure tones having the same frequency and amplitude.
Why the number matrix in phone is of 4x3?
NOT QUITE AN ANSWER I don't know why, from a historical perspective. Possibly because it's the simplest way to arrange the keys using the tone dialing scheme. The individual keys' dialing tones are created by mixing two tones. There are three tones for the columns, and four for the rows. Each key makes a predefined combination tone.
What is the theory of hearing that the rate of auditory nerve impulses matches the frequency of tones?
Frequency Theory
What is the tone of a single frequency called?
Sounds consist of fundemental tones and overtones. A single frequency is a fundemental tone.
What is a pulse dialing phone?
A pulse dialing phone is a telephone that can dial a number using a series of clicks (pulses) instead of tones. All rotary telephones use pulse dialing; many pushbutton phones, especially older models, have a switch for tone or pulse.
Why can't adults hear high frequency ring tones?
Bacause they can't
Why can't adults hear high frequency ring-tones?
because their ears are more developed.
Does a High pitched sound has a high number of partial tones?
Not neccessarily, pitch depends on the fundamental frequency. The number of partial tones is independent from fundamental frequency, and, roughly speaking, determines the timbre of the sound (through variables like spectral balance, for example).
What is DTMF?
DTMF means Dual Tone Multi Frequency this is every key on your phone key pad, each key generates two tones over top of each other hence the Dual Tone of DTMF. This also applied to touch tone telephones that are hardwired in homes and businesses, they also use DTMF keying.
