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

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.

The Stanfields - Fight Song (vocals removed).

I work for the NHS, everyone has the same ringtone on their work phones. It’s infuriating.

i downloaded the dane cook ringtone app for android and ios. my ringtone cycles automatically between dane cook stand up bits and my text alert is him yelling in the octagon at madison square garden

I dont have a tone set and am always on silent mode. I hate the noises.

[–] communism@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 weeks ago

The default. I know I can change it but idc what my ringtone is. As long as it alerts me to calls it's fine.

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.

[–] joelfromaus@aussie.zone 1 points 2 weeks ago

The Crash Bandicoot theme though I never have my phone off silent.

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.

Combustible Edison - Vertigogo

Perfect slow start that builds up, and a great song.

ATT Firefly, from a Lumia 920.

My text tone is the fatal error sound from XP:

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.

[–] sploder@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago

Unsolved mysteries theme song

[–] brokenlcd@feddit.it 1 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

For the ringtone i have the ringtone from the sip pulsar phone we had in italy while for notifications i have the cascade chime from some doorbell in an ancient condo i worked at. Before that i had the "you got mail" from aol. But it was a bit too esotheric since no one where i live speaks english

[–] ArcaneSlime@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

Stole a sound effect from Scooby Doo. The notif sound is Slick Ricco 01

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.

[–] uhmbah@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 weeks ago

Old-fashioned Rockford Files ring.

Indiana Jones theme

Every spam call is an adventure!

[–] jbaber@lemmy.sdf.org 1 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

A recording of me heavily exhaling so that nobody but me notices when it rings. I never have to put my phone on silent.

[–] jbaber@lemmy.sdf.org 1 points 2 weeks ago

And for alerts like texts, this single pop for the same reason.

The default ringtone in LineageOS, but I use talk.wav from Quake (1996) for notifications, I love that sound

[–] flop_leash_973@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago

I found some generic guitar riff mp3 years ago I liked. Been using that on every phone since then.

[–] Sunsofold@lemmings.world 1 points 2 weeks ago

Lemon Boy - Puzzle Pieces at the moment.
I don't get calls much so I change my notification tones much more frequently. Currently I have Reinhardt from Overwatch saying 'Unacceptable!' It's an example of my favorite kind of phone sound, which is situational injections. It's great to have little moments where someone is talking about something and my phone decides to join the conversation.

Friend: 'It was so annoying. How did he not see that coming?'
Phone: 'Lucio: Why are you so angry?'

Friend: 'I gotta hit the bathroom.'
Phone: *dramatic orchestra*

Friend: 'Hey, how much do you know about X?'
Phone: 'Krieger: I probably shouldn't show you this, but I'm totally going to.'

[–] daniskarma@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 2 weeks ago

Matrix ringtone.

So I can hope I can scape the simulation instead of answering to a scammer call.
