Low-bitrate audio compression (MP3) use Fourier transforms.
Image and video compression use Fourier transforms.
Less-well-known:
AC electricity has to run at (almost) exactly 60hz / 50hz. The power plants use Fourier transforms to measure the exact frequency. (And then use the measurement to adjust accordingly.)
Some telecommunications techniques may use Fourier transforms: IE, the dial-up modems used in the 1990s used Fourier transforms to interpret the analog signal and determine what the bits were.
