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.

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

[–] makingStuffForFun@lemmy.ml 17 points 4 weeks ago (4 children)

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.

[–] finalarbiter@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

It's sea shanty 2 from runescape, but my phone is usually on vibrate

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.

[–] lime@feddit.nu 6 points 4 weeks ago

more of a sc3k person myself but i can respect the classics

[–] missingno@fedia.io 5 points 4 weeks ago

Pokemon Red trainer battle. Notification sound is the Pokecenter jingle.

[–] UrPartnerInCrime@sh.itjust.works 5 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

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

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

The second file works on iOS as a ringtone.

I've had that song stuck in my head nonstop for nearly twenty years.

[–] Bongles@lemmy.zip 5 points 4 weeks ago

When I get a phone I'll pick from the included ringtones and then throw it on vibrate only.

[–] neidu3@sh.itjust.works 5 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

Samsung default.

However, my notification sound is the Doofenschmirz-evil-incorporated-jingle

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.

[–] other_cat@lemmy.zip 4 points 4 weeks ago

Ringtone is Gerudo Valley theme from Ocarina of Time.

[–] callouscomic@lemmy.zip 4 points 4 weeks ago

None. For at least 15 years now.

[–] aeternum@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 4 weeks ago

I don’t have a ring tone. My phone is permanently on silent mode

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.

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

[–] LogicalDrivel@sopuli.xyz 3 points 4 weeks ago

GTA San Andreas mission complete song.

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.

Eidt: or the 1:40 timestamp

[–] Wytch@lemmy.zip 2 points 4 weeks ago

The original Binding of Isaac music from the Basement levels.

Crash Bandicoot 1 theme

[–] owenfromcanada@lemmy.ca 2 points 4 weeks ago

Fairy Fountain (I cut out the intro harp part though).

My notification sound is the heart noise.

Though I haven't taken my phone off of silent/vibrate in ages.

[–] DampCanary@lemmy.world 2 points 4 weeks ago

Castle's opening whistle song

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 points 4 weeks ago

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.

[–] Drekaridill@feddit.is 2 points 4 weeks ago

Barney's magic ringtone

[–] Rhynoplaz@lemmy.world 2 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

Guile's theme from Street Fighter 2.
