what's your ringtone?

cross-posted from: https://feddit.nu/post/13151937

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

Honestly I don't know. My phone's been on silent/vibration for a few years now.

lime@feddit.nu · 10 pts · 1y

valid

Same.

Bruncvik@lemmy.world · 19 pts · 1y

No ringtone, just vibration on my smart watch. Didn't have my phone out of silent since the late 2010's.

Silent. No vibration. 15 years now

Rhynoplaz@lemmy.world · 6 pts · 1y

Pretty easy if you never set it down.

garbagebagel@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 1y

I used to have a smart watch that could force call it even when on silent. I switched now and sometimes find my phone app can still force the ring tone but sometimes not. Really sucks tbh.

Knight Rider theme

For messages, I have "(arrow noise) Message for you sir!" from Monty Python and the Holy Grail.

For ringtones and alarms I have the defaults for any device.

dual_sport_dork@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 1y

Mine is also Holy Grail themed. My ringtone (which is pretty much never heard because like everyone else here my phone is always on silent) is the fanfare from "Homeward Bound." My text message alert is one of the Knights Who So Ever So Recently Said "Ni" saying, well... You can guess.

PonyOfWar@pawb.social · 8 pts · 1y

My ringtone is a station jingle from Tokyo's Yamanote line. Rarely hear it though, as my phone is usually on silent.

I have mine set to one of the tracks from Simcity 2000. I was a bit curious to see if anyone would recognise it but nobody has so far (though some people have said it sounded familiar).

Most calls I get however are through my work phone and that just stays on silent to the point I can't even think of what the ringtone actually sounds like.

The snail phone sound from One Piece

My notification sound is the text/menu noise from pokemon

My texts from special people sound is Steve's heyo from borderlands 2. Its been on all my phones since the game pretty much came out. One of if not the most stable things in my life haha

Rhynoplaz@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 1y

I want to upvote HEYO! many more times than the platform will let me.

Some pre-installed one for regular calls and a recording of me and my daughter imitating the "Bbbrrrrrriiiing! Telephone!" muppets from Sesame street for her and my wife.

Ringtone is the Trololo song, and my text sound is a murloc from WoW

I haven't played WoW in about that long, but I think it makes for a damn good notification sound, always gets my attention when I have my ringer on (which isn't super often, but I often don't feel my phone vibrating so it's on at least occasionally)

They also make for a good chuckle from nerds in my age bracket when they hear it.

Back when Vivaldi was a young punk, starved and with way too much funky ideas in his head, the only job he could find was as a teacher for girls in a convent.

Unleashing of the craziness ensued: with 60 pupils at hand, he started chain-writing pieces for string quatuors and quintets.

It's called "Estro Armonico" and nr 8 on the Café Zimmerman' recording is my ringtone. I always pause a bit before picking up a call.

The phone sound from Transylvania 6-5000. My phone is on DND/silent nearly 24x7, so last time it actually rang I was like "wtf is that sound?". :D

Zorsith@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 3 pts · 1y

I dont think my phone has ever not been muted, but if i had to pick a song, probably this starting somewhere around the 40-50 second mark. Very nostalgic, very unlikely to be heard in the wild and be missed.

Nokia tune, migrated that shit from when I had a Nokia. The dissonance between modern phone and OG ringtone is quite amusing.

My message tone is more fun — Wilhelm scream. Had that for years and it confuses / startles people to this day.

Honestly, it's such a royal pain to do anything with audio in Android that isn't VLC. I don't bother with changing any of the audio settings, so it's whatever the manufacturer says.

Zak@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 1y

Often vibrate-only, but when not, voice/video calls are on defaults. I received them rarely and haven't bothered to set it.

My default for messages is a honk from Untitled Goose Game. Specific contacts get custom notifications, usually bird calls, though one who likes cats more than most has a meow.

LPT for android notifications;

Android doesn't give you the separate option for banner + nosound. It's all or nothing.

However, if you have a 15sec audio file with silence, you can set the sound to that and still get a banner.

DeathByBigSad@sh.itjust.works · 2 pts · 1y (1 reply)

Huh? Is that not just a normal part of settings?

(Samsung OneUI 7, Android 15)

helpImTrappedOnline@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 1y

Huh, guess I've been doing that for no reason. I added the silent file a long time ago, and because it adds your custom ringtones to the list I figured it was because I added the file, so I kept doing that for each new phone....


I'm on a pixel with Graphene In my settings there is a "none" option I've never noticed until now.

One of the stock ones. I had my phones on vibrate only for years, but when I started WFH full time with the pandemic, I turned the ringer back on so I could hear it if I was in another part of the house. I don't care enough to download something else for the ringtone.

I did download a new tone for my alarm, though:

Just had to switch my phone from tablet - no usable number - to phone.

Default ringtone: silence.

Some address book people get a custom ringtone. Not if they keep calling, more an emergency thing. Nuisances and acquaintances stay with the silence and they'll eventually send me a message Not On SMS.

I hate the phone.

Onomatopoeia@lemmy.cafe · 1 pts · 1y

Silent.

All default sounds are set to silent, then I selectively set tones for apps/contacts.

This ensures I only get sound for specific things.

Samsy@lemmy.ml · 1 pts · 1y

The melody played at the end of every Invincible Episode. Idk why, I really like the power it has.
