Custom phone tones and sounds
2010-02-21, 8:51 PM #1
So I've decided to join the 21st century and start putting custom tones and such on my phone, mostly because the vibrate feature on the phone I have now is too weak to notice most of the time. So far, I have the following:

Calls: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DlN6ROGyg0U
Alarm: Ballad of the Wind Fish (can't find a good version on Youtube as they're all junk remixes or such)

Still trying to decide what to use for receiving texts, voicemail, and missed calls. I prefer the less-common ones, so I'm probably avoiding the "get item" sound from Zelda.

So to make this an actual thread, what custom tones and such do you all have on your phones?

Monoral - Kiri, one of my favorite songs ever. Ignore the video portion, just the highest quality I could find on youtube (most are crap quality).

And no, I did not spell Monoral wrong, that's how the band's name is spelled.

I can't wait for the day schools get the money they need, and the military has to hold bake sales to afford bombs.

I just keep my phone on silent/vibrate.

But in the odd instance when it's not on that, my ringtone is Suffragette City. :D
nope.

My generic ring tone is the Futurama theme song, my text/pics tone is the "bump chords" from the Venture Bros (it plays between scenes), and everything is "Loud Beep."

My ringtone is Los Campesinos! - We Are Beautiful, We Are Doomed.

My text message alert sound is a Jawa. I usually get some strange looks for that.

My text alert used to be the " ! " from Metal Gear Solid. Every once in a while, someone would hear it and say "Huh? What was that noise?"

It was :awesome:

I took it off when I started playing MGS4 because I would hear the noise, yell at the game "WTF no one saw me!" then realize it was my phone.

CTU ringtone from 24. Not the one that is linked in the youtube vid (I ended up having to make my own one in Audacity), but basically the same.

Current ringtone is Carry On Wayward Son by Kansas, but I've been tempted to change it recently. Maybe something by AC/DC instead. I do love the harmony at the start of the song but it's not always the easiest thing to hear when I'm out. My text tone is just one of the (less annoying but still audible) default chimes. I don't use the alarm on my phone because it's a horrible noise to wake up to.

My ringtone is the default, largely because I always have it on silent so it doesn't make any difference to me

I've had a bit from "Bros" by Panda Bear as my ringtone for about 6 months, but my phone is always on vibrate unless I accidentally change it, so I've heard it about 2 times in that period.

Bitpim is pretty sweet if you have a phone it supports.

Just vibration, but I always have Vangelis - End Titles from Blade Runner as a backup.
Star Wars: TODOA | DXN - Deus Ex: Nihilum

My ringtone is the Codec ring from the MGS series.

Shamelessly ripped from here, although it took me long enough to get a phone that coupld play it.
Hey, Blue? I'm loving the things you do. From the very first time, the fight you fight for will always be mine.

Bob Dylan's Just Like Tom Thumb's Blues.

I'm pretty sure zelda tones cut your chances of impressing a woman in half.

That is if you actually get calls more than once a week.

I had a Zelda ringtone, and my girlfriend at the time heard it and thought it was the coolest thing ever. It wasn't even the main theme - it was Saria's Song.

She's at home making me dinner now.

ROB WRONG.
2010-02-22, 5:21 PM #21
Is she really fat?
2010-02-22, 5:22 PM #22
She's actually kinda hot.
nope.
2010-02-22, 6:01 PM #23
She's not fat, she's crazy. After all, she dated Steven.

There is no such thing as a woman that meets a man's definition of sanity.

I use the codec call from MGS for texts, calls are the generic ring.

Girlfriend:




and for friends:

I use the default ringtone & generally keep it on vibrate. I can't stand to talk on the phone & I only answer when it's my wife (everyone else goes straight to voicemail) & our conversations average about 30 seconds (we'd text instead if it was free).
? :)
2010-02-23, 11:48 AM #28
I have the top gun anthem as my ringtone.

On the rare instances it's not on silent/vibrate:

General: The guitar solo from Santeria by Sublime
Dave: Chorus from Springtime for Hitler
Izzy: Chorus from Chasing Cars by Snow Patrol

Text tone is the iPhone default.

Hellooooo necroposting!

That's a rather depressing song for Izzy there, Martyn (It's a good song though!). :P
2010-03-30, 7:54 AM #31
Weird - why the hell did this show up on the first page for me? The post before mine was from a month ago?

WHAT THE HELL MATTY.

I'M SCARED.

(It's just a legacy thing, that ringtone - I can't be bothered to change it!)
2010-03-30, 12:29 PM #32
Mwahahaha, Step 1 of my plan is a success. Now for Step 2... :ninja:
