hold button
Waiting music activator
A hold button is the control on a telephone that temporarily suspends a call without disconnecting it, allowing the person to attend to something else: Can I put you on hold for a moment?
The caller typically hears silence or music until the call resumes.
By extension, any pause control that freezes action without ending it.
