Do you use a ringtone/sound alarm on your phone?

Ghost Econ · 11-24-2025, 08:16 AM

Just wondering as I sit here listening to a crazy loud ringtone going off at work. I don't have sound turned on for my phone outside of Bluetooth for headphones. I just let my watch buzz if I get a call or text. Even my alarm in the AM is just my watch buzzing.

I do; ringtone = sonar, text = keys, voicemail=tri-tone, new mail = ding (though I think that is only on for one specific address [company]), sent mail = swoosh.

I have my alarm set for "ripples", when I have it on, but it's very rarely that it actually goes off.

I've used the opening riff from Eye of the Beholder since Trump was elected the first time.

My ringtone is "Send In The Clowns." I get approximately 200 calls a day.

Dang. I just listened to it, and that song isn't nearly as annoying as I imagined it to be from the title. I guess the Krusty the Clown version is pretty annoying.

Nice! I use Who Let the Dogs Out. Probably only get 100 calls myself

Wow, your ringtone is WAY more effective!

Maybe I'll switch mine to The Macarena.

I always have my phone on silent which usually leads me to missing calls. My father in law has this annoying train whistle at full volume and it inevitably goes off at every school band, choir, etc...concert.

Oh, ok. The last time my phone rang was Wednesday.

Ghost, my fellow March 4ther, I am the same as you. But it seems to be our generation and below.

I usually go with vibrate but I got a new phone a month or so ago and haven't bothered to change the sound/ringtone settings yet. I'm officially old.
