ringtones were big there for a while, but now it seems everyone just leaves them on default.

I have this one that says "ring ring". Like there is a recording of someone saying that.

[–] joyjoy@lemmy.zip 1 points 6 hours ago

I don't get calls

[–] Konstant@lemmy.world 1 points 10 hours ago* (last edited 3 hours ago)

Samsung default because I have to flex my cheap phone. /s

[–] P1nkman@lemmy.world 16 points 2 days ago

I have no idea, because i never have sound on.

[–] Lazycog@sopuli.xyz 42 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Honestly I don't know. My phone's been on silent/vibration for a few years now.

[–] lime@feddit.nu 9 points 2 days ago
[–] Bruncvik@lemmy.world 18 points 2 days ago

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 2 days ago (4 children)

Silent. No vibration. 15 years now

Default-Mantis Lords theme (Hollow Knight) Spouse-Monster Smash (Monsters Inc.) Mom-Linus and Lucy (Peanuts) Brother-Party Ain't a Party by Queen Pen Text notification-Koopa sound

Oddly enough my dad doesn't have a custom ringtone, may have to look into that. Everyone else isn't special enough to get one.

[–] gilgameth@lemmy.world 9 points 2 days ago

Knight Rider theme

[–] aeternum@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 1 day ago

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

[–] troyunrau@lemmy.ca 8 points 2 days ago (1 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.

[–] PonyOfWar@pawb.social 7 points 2 days ago

My ringtone is a station jingle from Tokyo's Yamanote line. Rarely hear it though, as my phone is usually on silent.

[–] Fondots@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days 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.

[–] gnu@lemmy.zip 6 points 2 days ago (1 children)

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 2 days ago

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

[–] LogicalDrivel@sopuli.xyz 3 points 2 days ago

GTA San Andreas mission complete song.

[–] other_cat@lemmy.zip 4 points 2 days ago

Ringtone is Gerudo Valley theme from Ocarina of Time.

[–] callouscomic@lemmy.zip 4 points 2 days ago

None. For at least 15 years now.

[–] Bongles@lemmy.zip 5 points 2 days ago

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

[–] missingno@fedia.io 5 points 2 days ago

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

[–] Almacca@aussie.zone 5 points 2 days 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 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:

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

https://files.catbox.moe/230jq7.m4r

The second file works on iOS as a ringtone.

[–] neidu3@sh.itjust.works 5 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Samsung default.

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

I put all the Cyberpunk 2077 sound effects on my phone, for ringtone and messages. Now I'm confused when I play Cyberpunk.

[–] DefinitlyHuman@lemmynsfw.com 1 points 1 day ago

I did the same hoping playing Cyberpunk would helpy anxiety when getting a call. Nope, no I get anxious when I get a call in a videogame

[–] UrPartnerInCrime@sh.itjust.works 4 points 2 days 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

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.

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.

[–] Akasazh@feddit.nl 1 points 1 day ago

Epic Sax guy ringtone. Portal 2 button sound as message tone

[–] Zorsith@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days 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.

Eidt: or the 1:40 timestamp

[–] Ludrol@szmer.info 1 points 1 day ago

Epic win from club penguin

I got frustrated with having a default one and checking my phone when someone's else is ringing.
