The tonechange event is sent to an RTCDTMFSender by the WebRTC API to indicate when DTMF tones previously queued for sending (by calling RTCDTMFSender.insertDTMF()) begin and end.

| Interface | RTCDTMFToneChangeEvent |
| Event handler property | ontonechange |
To determine what tone started playing, or if a tone stopped playing, check the value of the event's tone property.
Examples
This example establishes a handler for the tonechange event which updates an element to display the currently playing tone in its content, or, if all tones have played, the string "<none>".
This can be done using addEventListener():
dtmfSender.addEventListener("tonechange", ev => {
let tone = ev.tone;
if (tone === "") {
tone = "<none>";
}
document.getElementById("playingTone").innerText = tone;
}, false);
You can also just set the ontonechange event handler property directly:
dtmfSender.ontonechange = function( ev ) {
let tone = ev.tone;
if (tone === "") {
tone = "<none>"
}
document.getElementById("playingTone").innerText = tone;
};
