I feel like changing my ringtone.

What is yours?

I made my own remix of crab rave

Before I switched from conventional communication, my ringtone for the longest time was the unsuspecting sound of a baby crying, which once served as an April Fool's joke but also something that predated and went longer than that. Now that conventional phones have tried to make it more and more difficult to actually get a custom ringtone, I don't know what the future holds but know the change I made gives me my best chances of having a ringtone tradition.

"GTA V Franklin ringtone"

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I know it's goofy, but it's some sort of chip tune song that played in the background of an app patcher program that I used forever ago to install some pirated game or app or something.

I have no idea what the song is called and it doesn't seem to exist on the Internet. It's just on my phone as an .MP3 file (and on my computer within a sketchy program called patch.exe). Dunno why I drifted to it.

My text notification tone is the notification sound from RollerCoaster Tycoon 1/2 (ex: "3 peeps have drowned" popup). It works well.

The Exorcist theme.

Star Wars: the cantina band

Notification: R2D2 sound

But I mostly have my phone on silent

I can't find it anymore but for the longest time it was the yell the headless bomb guys make in the first Serious Sam game.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

I have to change mine semi-regularly because after a year or so I'll start thinking i hear my phone ring while it isn't. Currently it's the Nokia 3310 Badinerie ringtone

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Default Android ringtone for calls.

However my signal/whatsapp message tone is Sergeant Doakes from Dexter saying "Surprise Motherfucker!", which occationally turns some heads in public.

"beep beep beep beep" -leonard nemoy

Devilish Influence from Ninja Gaiden 1.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Right now it is a .mid file of A-ha's Take On Me. I plan to change it up soon though. I always use .mid files because they sound classic. The soundfonts, the lack of sustain, everything.

Back when I had a loud phone, my text message alert was the Icarus 1 Distress Beacon from the film Sunshine.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

https://youtu.be/5mQVljB7JGw?si=phV8TM7b9YHgBlBd always happy to hear the song and always just a little anxious to hear it because the actual calls always mean something serious.

I used to have cheerful tunes for ring tones but then all my old relatives died in a row like flies and "I don't feel like dancing" felt really out of place. Beth Ditto has stuck with me since then.

I've been using the Stonecutter's theme from the Simpsons for over 15 years. It never gets old.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

I have a ringer that starts at a highish frequency and then with each ring drops lower. I find the changing frequency helps me pick it out from background noise.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

The Avengers theme. My alert is Cap shouting "Language!"

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Music from the first stage of Marble Maddness from the NES

The Ballad of Serenity.

A trimmed down instrumental version of "Beneath the Mask" from Persona 5. I found the song to have a really nice vibe to it.

Dragonborn

Doesn't matter it starts off quiet because the phone vibrates anyway.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago

The vyzvánění I'm using is the song Smejko a Tanculienka – Strapatá

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

My general ringtone is a section from Henry Mancini's Pink Panther theme. For family and friends I use Leo Kottke's guitar version of Bach's Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring.

Here it starts at about 4:39

Something that weirds out most people. It's chanting and singing in Latin to epic music. It is meant to sound like it's for religious zealots because it is. It's a song of worship for the savior of humanity, the God Emperor of Man.

Warhammer 40k is fun.

Right now it's one of the retro riffs that pixel phones can use but I'm thinking of changing it to the legend of dragoon menu music

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Mine is the sfx that ED-E (from fallout new vegas) plays when it detects hostile NPCs.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Add the sound of Boone picking off Legionnaires, and you've perfected it!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I clip portions of music that I make in GarageBand on my phone for my ringtones. Right now it’s a song called Cave In. That or a monophonic version of Grande Valse.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Mine is Carnival from the default samsung tones. My 7yo wouldn't let me pick up the phone because she loves the music

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

The intro to Cantaloop. Has just the right blaring horn to catch my attention even at a low volume.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Hearthstone theme song. Hasn't changed in like 7 years. Maybe some day, but I'm conditioned to it now. Id probably never answer it if it made a different ring. Not that I ever answer it now.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Whatever Samsung has as default. Not sure I've ever even heard it
