  The imaginary part of the quasinormal frequencies spectrum for a static and
spherically symmetric black hole is analytically known to be equally spaced,
both for the highly damped and the weakly damped families of quasinormal modes.
Some interesting attempts have been made in the last twenty years to understand
in simple ways this level spacing for the only case of highly damped
quasinormal frequencies. Here, we show that the overtone level spacing, for
both the highly damped and weakly damped families of quasinormal modes, can
simply be understood as a fingerprint of a hidden local $SL(2,\mathbb{R})$
symmetry, near different regions of the black hole spacetime, i.e. the
near-horizon and the near-photon sphere regions.
