Riddle
Riddles are little poems or phrases that pose a question that needs answering. Riddles frequently rhyme, but this is not a requirement.Riddle
Composed of just three words, I am a phrase
Reborn by a technological craze
I'm responsible for the absent rings
As per your configuration settings
I am the one who suppresses the tone
During those times you want to be alone
If staying out and need a few winks more
Let one find me on the back of your door
While I am left hanging around outside
I ensure that in peace you may reside
What am I?
