Ask Lemmy

Two more cool ones I used to have:

Mahna Mahna (muppets) : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QTXyXuqfBLA&t=17s

and

Muppet martians discovering the telephone: https://youtu.be/KTc3PsW5ghQ?feature=shared&t=152

Go Cubs Go

Or

Jurassic Park hold music.

I can't find it anymore but for the longest time it was the yell the headless bomb guys make in the first Serious Sam game.

Default Android ringtone for calls.

However my signal/whatsapp message tone is Sergeant Doakes from Dexter saying "Surprise Motherfucker!", which occationally turns some heads in public.

CAFO

Before I switched from conventional communication, my ringtone for the longest time was the unsuspecting sound of a baby crying, which once served as an April Fool's joke but also something that predated and went longer than that. Now that conventional phones have tried to make it more and more difficult to actually get a custom ringtone, I don't know what the future holds but know the change I made gives me my best chances of having a ringtone tradition.

A trimmed down instrumental version of "Beneath the Mask" from Persona 5. I found the song to have a really nice vibe to it.

I know it's goofy, but it's some sort of chip tune song that played in the background of an app patcher program that I used forever ago to install some pirated game or app or something.

I have no idea what the song is called and it doesn't seem to exist on the Internet. It's just on my phone as an .MP3 file (and on my computer within a sketchy program called patch.exe). Dunno why I drifted to it.

My text notification tone is the notification sound from RollerCoaster Tycoon 1/2 (ex: "3 peeps have drowned" popup). It works well.

"beep beep beep beep" -leonard nemoy

Devilish Influence from Ninja Gaiden 1.

https://youtu.be/5mQVljB7JGw?si=phV8TM7b9YHgBlBd always happy to hear the song and always just a little anxious to hear it because the actual calls always mean something serious.

I used to have cheerful tunes for ring tones but then all my old relatives died in a row like flies and "I don't feel like dancing" felt really out of place. Beth Ditto has stuck with me since then.

I have to change mine semi-regularly because after a year or so I'll start thinking i hear my phone ring while it isn't. Currently it's the Nokia 3310 Badinerie ringtone

I have a ringer that starts at a highish frequency and then with each ring drops lower. I find the changing frequency helps me pick it out from background noise.

Music from the first stage of Marble Maddness from the NES

The Avengers theme. My alert is Cap shouting "Language!"

Back when I had a loud phone, my text message alert was the Icarus 1 Distress Beacon from the film Sunshine.

The Exorcist theme.

Star Wars: the cantina band

Notification: R2D2 sound

But I mostly have my phone on silent

I've been using the Stonecutter's theme from the Simpsons for over 15 years. It never gets old.

Right now it is a .mid file of A-ha's Take On Me. I plan to change it up soon though. I always use .mid files because they sound classic. The soundfonts, the lack of sustain, everything.

Dragonborn

Doesn't matter it starts off quiet because the phone vibrates anyway.

The Ballad of Serenity.

suicide is painless.

"GTA V Franklin ringtone"

You know that ringtone from the movie Jurassic Park 3? The plumbing jingle I think? That. XD

I like the way ringtones used to be, and when someone recognizes it, it's a good laugh.

My general ringtone is a section from Henry Mancini's Pink Panther theme. For family and friends I use Leo Kottke's guitar version of Bach's Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring.

Mine is Carnival from the default samsung tones. My 7yo wouldn't let me pick up the phone because she loves the music

Imperial Klaxon - a sound effect from a Star Wars movie. And my notification sound is the B1 "Roger Roger".

The default one.

I just started watching through 24 again and have been really tempted to figure out how to get the phones as my ring tone.

Only problem is I'll never hear it because my phone is on silent 100% of the time.

The Fortnite default dance music

I like the kind of ringtones that the people who know it know it and to everyone else it's just a nice ringtone. I've had an elevator version of the Mass Effect theme, and also the intro song from Monsters Inc .

The intro section to Echo Beach

cold day instrumental

My own remixed version of my favourite game music.

The beginning of the main theme from Divinity: Original Sin 2.

Fort minor remember the name instramental. I get calls so rarely these days i had to look it up in my settings to be sure.

Recent ones have been "Popular Monster" - Falling in Reverse and "Slumber Party" - Britney Spears.

The intro to Cantaloop. Has just the right blaring horn to catch my attention even at a low volume.
