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.

Castle's opening whistle song
Between the Buried and Me - Selkies: The Endless Obsession
The original Binding of Isaac music from the Basement levels.
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.
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.
Crash Bandicoot 1 theme
I got frustrated with having a default one and checking my phone when someone's else is ringing.
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.
OWOL's theme right now:
I went with the Jack Bauer 24 ringtone for a while.
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.
Mr Peanutbutter's House theme
Went gaga for mass effect years ago and my ring tone is still the galaxy map tune. Easily recognizable, I sometimes link up with other fans and tbh I can't be bothered to change it xD
Dance of the Macabre
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:
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? Is that not just a normal part of settings?

mine does
Barracuda by Heart. I feel like it was made to be a ringtone.
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.
I have the GTA San Andreas message sound for notifications, my friends always chuckle when I get a message.
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 found a version of Star vs the Forces of Evil without lyrics. I spliced the first 10 and last 20 seconds to fit it within 30 seconds.

I have this one that says "ring ring". Like there is a recording of someone saying that.
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 don't get calls
The transponder snail sound from one piece anime. It will be this till the end of my time.
Enyo Morricone: Theme from The Good The Bad and The Ugly
How do you ever pick up the phone
Violent pornography by system of a down
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)
Lee Jackson's "How'd I dod" from the Rise of the Triad OST.
