Grindr rule

“My husband plays that mobile game all the time!”

grindr has a custom notification noise? isn't that indiscreet for an app like that?
- Yeah I don't know any apps that have custom notifications out of the box these days, apart from Messenger. It's too convenient just to use the operating system's API and default to the user's default sound.
  
  I don't know if there's some way to override/customise the notification sounds on Android on per-app basis. At one point in history I wanted Twitter to go [random bird noises] and Reddit to go "Le." but since I don't use either of them anymore I really didn't investigate this further.
  
  Signal does, that dee-deep sound it makes.
  
  on my phone (GrapheneOS / Android 14) u can accomplish this with:
  Go to 'App Info' for the app (this can be done by long-pressing the app's home screen icon > App Info)
  Select 'Notifications'
  Select the specific notification kind (eg. 'New Message' or whatever)
  Select 'Sound', which opens a radio-input of thw default system sounds, and an option to add a custom sound from a file
  i would imagine most android builds, which are not very customized (such as samsung/oppo), would handle this similarly
- For me, it only ever made the normal plonk, nothing fancy and custom.

I have the Pornhub jingle set as my rintone. I regularly hear "I know that sound where is it from?"

Post an audio file of the noise
- Don't be a coward. Download Grindr and make a match.
  Then obv you can't ghost the guy.
  Explain the situation.
  Become friends.
  Fall in love.
  The closeted gay was you all along!
  
  But I'm a married lesbian attempting to troll family…
  
  That becomes work when I just want to cause chaos
- there you go 😘 https://nextcloud.spacebar.ca/s/44qJn5Mi69zSrFf

Panickedly? Really?
- How would you say it? Panickily? Panicly? Panically?
  
  "check their phone ringer in a panic"
  You know, like a normal person with a brain would say. It's pretty sad you couldn't come up with that.
- New word is created and old word is altered when language skill reach rock bottom.
  
  Language has always been changing
  Making fun of people for alternate spellings or words is silly, this is how language has always evolved
  
  you couldn't be more wrong

It would be hilarious to build some little thing, basically a bluetooth speaker you could stick somewhere, to play stuff like that from under a table or behind a couch, from something like a phone speaker.
- I'm sure I've seen something like this, like a Bluetooth noise box, powered by batteries..
  
  I wouldn't want to use one of those music listening type "sexy speakers" like what Dankpods has. Powa ahn. Blewtewth moad. Because it would sound too big and sharp, needs to be out of a tinny little 5mm driver.

I showed my partner this post and he let out a genuine belly laugh. Well done!

On one hand, I'm glad I don't have too many really bigoted relatives. On the other hand, this would be so fucking funny.
