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

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.
"beep beep beep beep" -leonard nemoy
Music from the first stage of Marble Maddness from the NES
Devilish Influence from Ninja Gaiden 1.
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.
The Ballad of Serenity.
suicide is painless.
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.
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've been using the Stonecutter's theme from the Simpsons for over 15 years. It never gets old.
The Exorcist theme.
"GTA V Franklin ringtone"
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.
Star Wars: the cantina band
Notification: R2D2 sound
But I mostly have my phone on silent
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.
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.
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.
My notifications jingle (for the rare occasions I turn on notifications) is the Superintendent's turn-on sound from Halo 3: ODST. (The first two seconds here.) My ringtone is some weeb shit.
Hearthstone theme song. Hasn't changed in like 7 years. Maybe some day, but I'm conditioned to it now. Id probably never answer it if it made a different ring. Not that I ever answer it now.
Metal Gear "Spotted!" sound followed by Metal Gear Codec ringing.
Machinae Supremacy - Death from Above
Sungazer - Bird on the wing
Hellsing intro
Value Selects "Midnight Pretenders" cover
"Mood Matrix - Get A Grip On Yourself" from the Ace Attorney series, with a bit snipped off the beginning so it gets right into it.
