ringtones were big there for a while, but now it seems everyone just leaves them on default.
There’s a ringtone from the Jason Statham movie Crank where he hears a ring and it starts distorting because he’s high AF. That’s my ringtone. I like the frequency sweep and discordance; it makes it easier to pick out of background noise for me.
Been rockin this for years, I will never change it
for my notifications I have a folder with all of navi’s sounds from OOT, and I used to have a program that randomized them every time I got a notification, but something changed somewhere and I haven’t been able to get that to work for a while.
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.
Notification sound: MGS Codec Sound
A recording of me heavily exhaling so that nobody but me notices when it rings. I never have to put my phone on silent.
And for alerts like texts, this single pop for the same reason.
Silent these days. For a while I used the “black headcrab nearby” sound from HL2 as a text tone tho. Was fun watching people’s reactions to it.
Lemon Boy - Puzzle Pieces at the moment.
I don’t get calls much so I change my notification tones much more frequently. Currently I have Reinhardt from Overwatch saying ‘Unacceptable!’ It’s an example of my favorite kind of phone sound, which is situational injections. It’s great to have little moments where someone is talking about something and my phone decides to join the conversation.Friend: ‘It was so annoying. How did he not see that coming?’
Phone: ‘Lucio: Why are you so angry?’Friend: ‘I gotta hit the bathroom.’
Phone: *dramatic orchestra*Friend: ‘Hey, how much do you know about X?’
Phone: ‘Krieger: I probably shouldn’t show you this, but I’m totally going to.’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.
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
Portal theme tune, the one that plays through the radio when you are in the start habitat. Works beautifully.
