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 18 points 1 week 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.

[–] Almacca@aussie.zone 6 points 1 week ago (2 children)

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

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 1 week ago

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

[–] UrPartnerInCrime@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 week 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

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

[–] missingno@fedia.io 5 points 1 week ago

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

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

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.

[–] callouscomic@lemmy.zip 4 points 1 week ago

None. For at least 15 years now.

[–] other_cat@lemmy.zip 4 points 1 week ago

Ringtone is Gerudo Valley theme from Ocarina of Time.

[–] spankmonkey@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

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.

[–] Fondots@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week 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.

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.

[–] Schlemmy@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 week ago

That slaps.

[–] aeternum@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 1 week ago

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

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

[–] Zorsith@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week 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.

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.

[–] owenfromcanada@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 week 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.

[–] Drekaridill@feddit.is 2 points 1 week ago

Barney's magic ringtone

[–] mr_satan@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 week ago

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.

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

Guile's theme from Street Fighter 2.
