We have plenty of classical music that would be available freely, that we could use instead of an irritating jingle.

Likewise. If it's anything other than soft background music, I usually put the phone down and check back every so often. Callers don't listen to the songs put on hold music anyway.

There's nothing obvious about that unless your intention is to annoy people. A lot of this elevator music makes me want to hang up. The upbeat stuff is the worst. If people must endure this kind of torture make it low volume Gregorian Chant or meditation music.
If I want music I'm quite capable of turning on the radio or starting a CD.
