ringtones were big there for a while, but now it seems everyone just leaves them on default.

My call ringtone and text ringtones are pad noises from Star Trek. My alarm is the red alert sound.

    My phone is always on vibration since 4 phones ago. If I miss it I'll call you back, If I don't that's your answer

    Portal theme tune, the one that plays through the radio when you are in the start habitat. Works beautifully.

    Third Sanctuary from Deltarune by Toby Fox.

    There's a lot of emotional investment in that song at the moment. And the ringtone is just the very first riff on repeat, as that part sounds like an actual ringtone (wondering if that's on purpose)

    This song is famous for having an absolutely insane time signature that somehow works, as shown in this visualizer: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=De0FDShxgrs

  • Back in the day I had my entire phone setup with a custom Metroid 2 sound theme that I put together from MIDIs, plus custom ringtones for my dozen or so most frequent contacts. I remember using Power Puff Girls for my wife, TMNT for her boyfriend, Sailor Moon for my girlfriend, and Little Honda for my dad.

    Nowadays it’s on silent all the time so I don’t bother. :(

    It's kind of silly, but a long time ago when I pirated more games and software, I stumbled onto one of these key generators for one of my programs that I thought just had the best chiptune lol. Anyway, it has been my ringtone for years and years now.

    My text tone is the RCT1/2 notification sound. Works perfectly as a phone notification noise haha. I've had this one for years and years too.

    If my phone ever makes a single sound without me having pushed 'play' on some media, my first impulse is to throw it into traffic. I feel the same way about my computer.

  • Most of the time my phone is on silent but I use a custom recording of bamboo blocks as a ringtone otherwise.

    Silent these days. For a while I used the "black headcrab nearby" sound from HL2 as a text tone tho. Was fun watching people's reactions to it.

    I stopped bothering to personalize my phones, because they don't feel personal. They're just disposable tools.

    I had a weird itch that I just had to get the KotOR 2 Telos Apartment Console Ringtone for my phone, but I couldn't find it until I just found some weird scuffed version on Zedge that also had the Telos cantina music in the background with it.

    My ringtone is now default. But for a long time it used to be the aqua teen hunger force "dancing is forbidden" song, without the starting noise of the baseball bat destroying the radio.

    My alarm is also some default now, but it used to be a 5 second long loop of the EVE online shield alarm closely followed by the hull alarm .

    Technically default, but none of my devices make any sounds. Watch notifies me of events only haptically.

    There's a ringtone from the Jason Statham movie Crank where he hears a ring and it starts distorting because he's high AF. That's my ringtone. I like the frequency sweep and discordance; it makes it easier to pick out of background noise for me.

    • Phone call: Circuit (from iOS, copied over from when I used an iPhone)
    • Notification: Pizzicato (mostly for nostalgia)
    • Alarm: Argon (sometimes have to switch it up or I'll sleep through)

    In practice, it's on silent at the office and vibrate elsewhere.

    i've been using this one for almost two decades now, for about as long as i've had a phone that could use custom sound files. although i've had my phone on silent since about then too.

  • It was the ringtone from Crank for a while… but now I haven’t a clue what my ringtone is - whatever came by default on my phone. I don’t think I’ve ever intentionally turned it off silent.
