I feel like changing my ringtone.

What is yours?

Bold of you to assume my phone hasn't been on vibrate for the last 15 years.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 1 year ago

I think I heard it once in the past ten years. I was very confused by this sound.

It still has a ringtone setting. What are you hiding from us? /s

Who the fuck doesn't leave their phone on silent/vibrate?

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I don't even get why people need ringtone anymore. I can hear my phone vibrate from across the room and if its in another room, it's there for a reason and I'm not picking up anyway

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago (3 children)

My phone is brand spanking new and probably considered to be a flagship device, but the vibrate is pitifully weak where I often don't notice my phone going off while wearing it in my own damn pocket.

In general though, I've always had my ringer on while at home in case I set my phone down and need to know someone called. In public I leave it off generally.

Monkey Island main theme, 1 bit PC speaker version

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

I remember typing out the notes to Monkey Island on my old Nokia in the early 2000s. Took me ages, but it was so worth it :)

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Monkey Island main theme, but the one from Tales as it's shorter and doesn't take ages to ramp up.

The intro music from the American TV show Knightrider

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The Doctor Who theme. Specifically the theme from David Tennents run.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

At some point the the Eccleston/Tennent run I had just the sound of the TARDIS landing as my ringtone. When it would go off in a crowd it was a great was to spot my fellow geeks.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The one from The Expanse (not the theme, the one that all the "phones" in the series have).

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

I would like a link for that!

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

The main theme from Laputa: Castle in the Sky. It's been that for the past 7 or more years. May change it to another Ghibli movie theme song.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

Don't know, never had it turned on lol

The instrumental version of "Still Alive" that the radios in the original Portal play.

Formula 1 intro tune. A call will not be left unnoticed.

Worth checking out this live version https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8AYy-BcjRXg

Oh and as a bonus I will give you this alarm clock tune https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=enYdAxVcNZA

Tetris.

Instantly recognisable, loud enough to hear, raises a smile from strangers on the bus.

Bojack horseman intro. Just perfect.

Mine is always on silent

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Professer Professorson's ringtone from Community. It's the 'suspense sound' Dun Dun DUUNNN!

It's a fantastic ringtone when it goes off at odd times. Like during a bad guys lecture in D&D.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

But a version without the sound effects. Yes, it's amazing.

Daybreak and I only hear it if I have my AirPods in when my phone rings.

Weirdly enough.. Shellshock - 8-bit (Victory Tune)

Even though my phone's on vibrate all the time. Lol.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Funny to see how everyone here tries to have music and stuff that's fun and is pleasant to those around them then you have me who has plus boy to encourage me to respond before my ring tone gets to the horny bit

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

My ringtone is the GameCube startup sound and my Notification sound is the AIM Message sound.

Discord Rare mix.

Ringtone is made to be one but more fun.

Anything I use as a ringtone will cause me to hate it, so I use the Homing grenade sound from Borderlands 2. Looking back on that decision, there are more useful sounds to be instinctually aware of, but boy do I bolt awake when a random bandit has a homing grenade.

My notification sounds are the skill level up sound from Borderlands 2 and the Void Reaver denonation sound from Risk of Rain 2 for important things. I've also used the notification sound and train whistle from Rollercoaster Tycoon.

If I were to change my ringtone today, I'd probably go with Run! from Deep Rock Galactic, or one of the battle themes from FTL. Maybe the baseline from a Death by Glamour cover, but I'd fear I'd come to hate that sound, so maybe not.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

See, I have my alarm sound to be different from my ringtone, otherwise I'd end up hating my ringtone too

Linus & Lucy , but my phone has been on silent for the past decade.

One of the Samsung default ones. It's apparently called "Space Bell". My phone is basically always on vibrate though, so it really doesn't matter much.

Slayer - Raining Blood

Theme from 'The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly' by Ennio Morricone.
