What's your ringtone?

[discntnt_irny_srcsm]

For me my standard ringtone is a steady 16,000 Hz which I can only hear from about 6 inches from my phone. I'm an old guy and my high frequency hearing isn't what it used to be. So if you're not in my contacts list with your own specialized ringtone I just don't notice you calling at all.


But friends and family are assigned this:

[Mr.Bill]

1. Mine sounds like an

old ordinary telephone ringing.

[Freddie]

5. Mine too

It’s the only one I can hear from a pretty good distance or if it’s in my purse.

[discntnt_irny_srcsm]

7. I think I have that set for my doctor's office.

[Arkansas Granny]

13. Like you, that's the one I can hear the best.

[Emile]

21. Same here, I hear it better over the stupid ringtones.

[Fla Dem]

28. Me too.

[Harker]

30. Same here, unless it's my wife.

When she calls I get the sweet two-note call of a Black Capped Chickadee.

[sakabatou]

41. Same.

[58Sunliner]

2. Best movie ever. Best soundtrack.

[discntnt_irny_srcsm]

9. When you have to shoot, shoot. Don't talk.

[58Sunliner]

38. One of the best lines ever. Blondie!!!!

[Lunabell]

3. Pink!

[discntnt_irny_srcsm]

12. Love Pink!!!

Our family's theme song since my wife's second cancer assault and second remission:

[Lunabell]

33. She's an amazing artist and human being.

I love her and her fabulous energy.

Congrats on your wife's remission!! I hope that this is permanent!!

[discntnt_irny_srcsm]

39. Thanks :) Me too.

Last I knew she stills lives (probably part time) not far from us. She's from Doylestown North of Philly.

[catbyte]

4. ...

[discntnt_irny_srcsm]

14. Now there's a thread winner.

Love it.

[DetroitLegalBeagle]

6. whatever the default one is

My phone's ringtone is never on. Its always on vibrate. And for the few times I don't have my phone on me, I have my watch and it will vibrate and notify me if someone is calling or texting.

[discntnt_irny_srcsm]

15. "never on"...

I don't know that song but hey, whatever shakes your pocket.

[flying rabbit]

8. The first 30 seconds or so of Rubberband man

by the Spinners

[discntnt_irny_srcsm]

16. You made me think of another Rubber Band...

I forgot about the Spinners.

[pnwest]

10. Theme from Black Sails.

[discntnt_irny_srcsm]

19. Nice, reminds me a bit of the the theme from Haven.

[targetpractice]

11. From the TV show "24"... The CTU desk phone...

[discntnt_irny_srcsm]

25. I like the allusion.

My style is bit more:

[Leith]

17. I've been using songs that start out loud and boisterous

I've used The March of the Torreadors from Carmen:

Currently using The Pogues' If I Should Fall from Grace with God:

I plan to change it to Voices of Spring Waltz by Johann Strauss the Younger:

[Polly Hennessey]

24. If I heard Voices of Spring I would suddenly begin to waltz

with the person next to me. ☺️

[discntnt_irny_srcsm]

26. That waltz is peaceful.

An excellent choice for the weekend.
Just a suggestion for something loud:

[GumboYaYa]

18. Cissy Strut

[discntnt_irny_srcsm]

27. Nice and classic.

I feel like electric jazz.

[Polly Hennessey]

20. Mine is, It's Not Unusual by Tom Jones.

[discntnt_irny_srcsm]

43. Anyone who sleeps through that is likely deaf.

[NightWatcher]

22. Instrumental into to the Next Episode by Dre

[discntnt_irny_srcsm]

44. I can almost see Jackie Leggs

[Ocelot II]

23. Several, assigned to different callers:

The theme from Jaws
It's The End Of The World As We Know It
3rd movement, Bach Italian Concerto
Start Me Up
The Safety Dance
Toccata and Fugue in D Minor, Bach
Werewolves of London
What Do You Do With A Drunken Sailor
Prologue, Orfeo, Monteverdi

[discntnt_irny_srcsm]

45. You're giving me some ideas

It's The End Of The World As We Know It - nice one for my mother-in-law.

[PJMcK]

29. Strum

It sounds like an acoustic guitar strumming a chord progression. It’s one of the standard sounds on iPhones.

Boring but I don’t hear it on others’ phones

[discntnt_irny_srcsm]

46. It's good to be an individual

[Backseat Driver]

31. Jefferson Airplane

[discntnt_irny_srcsm]

47. That's a good one. Love the Airplane. n/t

[csziggy]

32. The first ten seconds of this

I tried assigning ringtones to people but then I wouldn't realize it was my phone ringing since I seldom get calls on my cell. So I stuck to this. My ringtone for my husband was ten seconds of "All Together Now" with the lyrics:

One, two, three, four
Can I have a little more?
Five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten
I love you

My ringtone for my sister was from "Carry On" - Carry on, love is coming, love is coming to us all.

I thought about using "Hello, Goodbye" or "Ob-La_Di, Ob-La-Da" by the Beatles or "Something Happening" by Buffalo Springfield (actually For What It's Worth) or maybe the beginning of "Marrakeesh Express" by Crosby, Stills & Nash, but "Time Warp" fit better. Plus it starts out soft and gets louder.

I also have the CTU ringtone if I wanted to use it.

[discntnt_irny_srcsm]

48. I barely remember Rocky Horror...

...but Carry On/WSNY that's a big favorite for me.

[rownesheck]

34. Mine is

the theme song from the British television series "The IT Crowd." It's very loud and annoying, but I love that show, so I keep it.

[discntnt_irny_srcsm]

49. I don't know the show but I'll check it out. n/t

[ms liberty]

35. Journey to the Sorceror by The Eagles. Aka the theme to Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy

The teevee show, not the movie:

[Roland99]

36. Star Wars theme for wife and close friends. Emperor's March for work contacts

[Nittersing]

37. From an old on-line game I used to play (Glitch)

[tanyev]

40. Onwards!

Snipped out the most dramatic bit starting at about 1:06.

[sarge43]

42. Satie's Gymnopedie n/t
