Hi, ceedeei.
I don't call where I read it as it was some time ago. However, as I recall, there is no sound when dialing with a modem on Windows Vista. In fact, from Control Panel > Hardware and Sound > Phone and Modem Options > Modems > Properties > Modem, note that the speaker volume is grayed out and not adjustable.
As to activity animation, I really didn't see a difference with animation on or off. The main thing is that it is connected. We dial-up users may not have the speed of broadband connections, but we're still making our way around.
