What are "std pips"? Refers to something about telephone calls and recording voice mail messages??????

Answer 1

Although it is difficult to understand abbreviations like "std pips" without full context of their inclusion, I think I may be able to shed some light on your question.

Most entities require standard beep tones on recorded conversations unless the parties are informed that "calls may be recorded or monitored for quality purposes".  Often described as "pips" these tones are regularly inserted and appear in the recorded conversation.  Some entities require them on all recordings.

The entities may be the local telephone service company, or they may be the governmental entity, or both.
