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
I mean sometimes at work or in life there’s something urgent. Outside of work I don’t have to be immediately reachable but at work I really don’t have that option because things wouldn’t go anywhere not being able to reach others by phone.
That’s true, I guess it does depend on your situation. 99% of the time for me I don’t need to be reach immediately.
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.
If it took me a few hours to reply at work I’d have very pissed off coworkers, not to mention how pissed off I would be if I was in the other end of it hah. I guess you’re lucky in that things aren’t as urgent.
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
It’s kind of silly, but a long time ago when I pirates 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.
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!
not silly, i’m using a midi from an old dos game!
The satellite phone ringtone from Jurassic Park 3.
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. :(
Fresh Prince of Bel-Air outro.
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.
