Dual-tone multi-frequency is abbreviated as DTMF. This is the proper name of 'touch tone' technology, used in push-button phones and revolving around the sounds made by each key when pressed.

Compare multi-core and dual core?

"Dual core" implies that there are two separate instruction execution units placed on a single "die." Some use shared components, such as cache, while others have two full processors, including all sub-components. All dual core processors could be considered multi-core (which simply means multiple "cores" or "processors"). However, a tri-core or quad-core is also a multi-core. Therefore, all dual cores are multi-cores, but not all multi-cores are dual cores.

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, andFewer frequencies to recognize in the telephone switch.The dual-tone aspect means that, even if there is some background noise that coincidentally matches one of the frequencies, it won't be registered as a dialed digit unless one of the cross frequencies also matches. It also means that you need only 7 distinct frequencies (3 columns and 4 rows) for the full 12-button keypad.
