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

    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.

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

    It stays on silent while at work, but other times, my ringtone is Hello Hello by The Cat Empire, and my notification sound is this

    My phone is almost never on loud, but when it is it's Caramelldansen. Put so much effort into making this a perfect loop!

    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 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

    Ringtone is Gerudo Valley theme from Ocarina of Time.

  • source
  • [–] 4 points 1 year ago

    Same as it's been since I got my first smartphone circa 2010

    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.

    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

  • source
  • [–] 3 points 1 year ago*

    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.

    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.

  • 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.

    Back when I had the last monophonic Nokia and you could order ringtone by SMS, I got the Morrowind theme.

    On the flip phone I had that let me set random MP3s as ringtone, I used the Oblivion theme

    My first shitty Samsung Android phone, "One They Fear" (dragon battle) from Skyrim.

    Now: Nokia Tune (device default, HMD Global Nokia 5.4)

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

    Notification is that Aliens2 Movie ping sound from the military weapons. Because more pings means there is shit going on (wife sends a lot of angry messages)

    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.

    I have a bunch. The original theme songs for Buck Rogers & Battlestar Galactica stand out. Some Archer clips for alert sounds. For awhile there I was making a bunch of them, but I don’t really change them up that much so I stopped.

    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:

    Samsung default one. It's funny when I'm at the hardware store buing supplies for work in the morning and a phone rings there's like 5 builders who all check their phones.

    I still set custom ringtone and notification sounds even though my phone is on silent 70% of any given day.

    It's been various songs from Everhood 1 for a long time. Deadly Premonition 1 Life is Beautiful before* that.

    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.

    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.

    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.
