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.
I used the communicator chime for a long time, but these days I'm basically permanently in do-not-disturb. My phone only makes sound when a close contact calls, or for a timer/alarm. Anything else can wait.
My ringtone is the music from the battle of the Mutara Nebula from the Wrath of Khan. My text message notification is the photon torpedo sound.
my phone has been on do not disturb since 2016
Work or family doesn't need to reach you urgently or do you have a separate work phone or something
I have one phone that I check every now and then to see if I missed anything. If anyone needs to reach me I'll see it when I see it and get back to them if it actually is important. Work doesnt need me if I'm off the clock. Also have notifications off on every app except my bank (and texts and calls) I have never feel more calm. Everything wants your attention these days
Not OP but same. I literally don’t remember my phone’s ringtone. Generally my phone is nearby and I check regularly for messages. Yes, calls and messages sometimes wait a few hours. I like it that way. I’ve never missed anything so important that I stopped silencing my phone and 99% of the communication I receive can wait till I’m ready to deal with it.
Before that it was Strongbad’s theme for Teen Girl Squad.
Portal theme tune, the one that plays through the radio when you are in the start habitat. Works beautifully.
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
Mario kart wii options sound lol, it's actually perfect for a ringtone
that's perfectly annoying. same energy as the wii u chat tune
This is probably the most catchy soundtrack for me in any Nintendo game. I will put the Mario Kart Wii disc in just to go to the options menu and listen to this masterpiece.
There's this guy who I help with his computer and anytime he gets a text it goes "Hey good lookin! You just got a text!" which is fucking insane and also I love it at the same time
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
Fellow Deltarune ringtone!!
I got Now's Your Chance To Be A
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. :(
The satellite phone ringtone from Jurassic Park 3.
Fresh Prince of Bel-Air outro.
Star Trek communicator sound that I downloaded, haha
Me too, the original communicator from the 1960s!
I've been using the same sound for several years across multiple phone changes, and when my now-wife-then-coworker heard it at work one day she made fun of me. Now she's a Trekkie too, haha.
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.
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.
not silly, i'm using a midi from an old dos game!
Share the tune!!
Unfortunately I don't know the name of it or anything lol. It's a pretty unremarkable tune all things considered...it is just nostalgic to me!
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 genuinely don't know if have never heard it
genuinely in the same boat, my phone has been in vibrate since '05
Technically default, but none of my devices make any sounds. Watch notifies me of events only haptically.
I stopped bothering to personalize my phones, because they don't feel personal. They're just disposable tools.
Most of the time my phone is on silent but I use a custom recording of bamboo blocks as a ringtone otherwise.
Off
nice. avatar beat was my ringtone for ages
My ringtone is the bandit radio from STALKER: Clear Sky.
А ну Чики-Брики и в Дамки!
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 .
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.
Amazing Horse
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.
Mine's the Steel Samurai theme from Ace Attorney
hell yea
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.
Inspector Gadget theme song
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.
What the fuck… are you me? See my comment. I’ve never seen (heard?) anyone else with this ringtone!
Link please
tristram from diablo. it's great cos i seem to be the only one with it, so i never confuse someone else's phone ring for mine
The default one. Haven't even opened the ringtone page in the settings.
Royksopp - Happy Up Here
In practice, it's on silent at the office and vibrate elsewhere.
It's like dun-dun dun dun-dun-dun dun dun dun-dun. DUHN-DUHN DUHN-DUHN-DUHN-DUHN DUHN DUHN DUHN-DUHN.
I have different Owen Wilson 'wow's for each of my most regular contacts message notifications.
For my ringtone it's the metal gear solid codec call.
I found some generic guitar riff mp3 years ago I liked. Been using that on every phone since then.
Been rockin this for years, I will never change it
for my notifications I have a folder with all of navi's sounds from OOT, and I used to have a program that randomized them every time I got a notification, but something changed somewhere and I haven't been able to get that to work for a while.
I used to be always on vibrate, but then I found out I can schedule do not disturb via calendar events, so I have started leaving my ringer on with it automatically disabling when I don't want it on.
This is my ringtone: Moment (instrumental) from Marmalade Boy. Watched this anime with my friends and this track is unforgettable. The show is about this girl whose parents divorce and get remarried to another couple who also got divorced, and then she tries to date her step-step-brother who is both her mom's husband's son and her dad's wife's son.
This track plays any time something dramatic happens, which is like every 5 minutes.
what the fuck
Old-fashioned Rockford Files ring.
Barns Courtney 99
Mega Man 2 theme. Phone is usually on vibrate but I put it into noisy mode from time to time.
I work in cyber security and I was spending the day in the SOC (security operations center, room full of nerds and a ton of monitors, everyone is watching security events). I left to take a piss and didnt take my phone. Someone called and ringtone played at top volume while I was away. Upon return I was greeted to half the room thinking it was funny the other half being most irritated with me. I was a director back then, so they couldn't really say too much (I mean, I wouldn't have cared, but corporate pecking order) which made it all the funnier.
I've set my phone to have all notifications silent except for ringtones, which I like best :-)
my main ringtone is death grips - system blower (the train sound opening), and meowfey - from the start (a memey cat meow cover of the original) set for my partner.
I thrive on monotony
Default android
The Crash Bandicoot theme though I never have my phone off silent.
Combustible Edison - Vertigogo
Perfect slow start that builds up, and a great song.
It’s silent because the sound gives me a lot of anxiety. Just thinking about it now, I feel anxious in my core.
I don’t like surprises and I get a lot of spam call, but I do miss fun ringtones.
Cadence of Hyrule's jazzy Song of Storms rendition. It's very fitting as a ringtone for those out of the loop, and those in the loop usually get a kick out of it.
