My phone was on silence mode since i started using it years ago. I was very surprised when i heard random notification sound after i accidentally turn off silent mode, and i was like wtf is that sound come from

I used to love using audacity to clip up MP3’s and turn them into ringtones. Nowadays I wouldn’t be caught dead with my ringer on

I would go a step further. Block notifications from the vast majority of apps. Besides messaging apps, there are very few apps that I need to see any notifications for. Even for apps like Lemmy, replies and DMs can be seen when the app is next opened, no need to bother me before I'm going to open the app anyway.

I've even got WhatsApp blocked. My wife and closest family are on Signal anyway. Any messages on WhatsApp can wait. I never go longer than 30 to 60 min without checking my phone anyway so I'll check into WhatsApp from time to time. So far, without notifications, nothing bad has happened for the past year.

I used to be a "silent phone" person until I discovered scheduled do-not-disturb. I like being able to hear when someone is calling me, I just don't want to hear it at certain times/days.

Meh. I have different levels of notifications. Email is silent. Lemmy is silent. Emails from my dad get a very small chirp. Signals from my sister however blare Turbo Rider.

Kids today will never know the horror of having to sit through Crazy Frog TV commercials.

Guess I’m the only one who still uses ringtones. They’re mostly from EarthBound, except when Halloween comes around I’ll sometimes use the plucking sound from It Follows soundtrack for phone rings.

I have no idea what my ringtone is and I'm scared of it finding out.

God damn I hate when I forget to turn off the sound again
