ringtones were big there for a while, but now it seems everyone just leaves them on default.
My call ringtone and text ringtones are pad noises from Star Trek. My alarm is the red alert sound.
I used the communicator chime for a long time, but these days I’m basically permanently in do-not-disturb. My phone only makes sound when a close contact calls, or for a timer/alarm. Anything else can wait.
My ringtone is the music from the battle of the Mutara Nebula from the Wrath of Khan. My text message notification is the photon torpedo sound.
Portal theme tune, the one that plays through the radio when you are in the start habitat. Works beautifully.
my phone has been on do not disturb since 2016
Work or family doesn’t need to reach you urgently or do you have a separate work phone or something
I have one phone that I check every now and then to see if I missed anything. If anyone needs to reach me I’ll see it when I see it and get back to them if it actually is important. Work doesnt need me if I’m off the clock. Also have notifications off on every app except my bank (and texts and calls) I have never feel more calm. Everything wants your attention these days
My phone is always on vibration since 4 phones ago. If I miss it I’ll call you back, If I don’t that’s your answer
There’s this guy who I help with his computer and anytime he gets a text it goes “Hey good lookin! You just got a text!” which is fucking insane and also I love it at the same time
Mario kart wii options sound lol, it’s actually perfect for a ringtone
that’s perfectly annoying. same energy as the wii u chat tune
This is probably the most catchy soundtrack for me in any Nintendo game. I will put the Mario Kart Wii disc in just to go to the options menu and listen to this masterpiece.
If my phone ever makes a single sound without me having pushed ‘play’ on some media, my first impulse is to throw it into traffic. I feel the same way about my computer.
Star Trek communicator sound that I downloaded, haha
Me too, the original communicator from the 1960s!
I’ve been using the same sound for several years across multiple phone changes, and when my now-wife-then-coworker heard it at work one day she made fun of me. Now she’s a Trekkie too, haha.
It’s kind of silly, but a long time ago when I pirated more games and software, I stumbled onto one of these key generators for one of my programs that I thought just had the best chiptune lol. Anyway, it has been my ringtone for years and years now.
My text tone is the RCT1/2 notification sound. Works perfectly as a phone notification noise haha. I’ve had this one for years and years too.
Share the tune!!
Unfortunately I don’t know the name of it or anything lol. It’s a pretty unremarkable tune all things considered…it is just nostalgic to me!
not silly, i’m using a midi from an old dos game!
Fresh Prince of Bel-Air outro.
The satellite phone ringtone from Jurassic Park 3.
Back in the day I had my entire phone setup with a custom Metroid 2 sound theme that I put together from MIDIs, plus custom ringtones for my dozen or so most frequent contacts. I remember using Power Puff Girls for my wife, TMNT for her boyfriend, Sailor Moon for my girlfriend, and Little Honda for my dad.
Nowadays it’s on silent all the time so I don’t bother. :(
Off
nice. avatar beat was my ringtone for ages
