I don't get many phone calls so don't want to miss them. My ringtone is "I just wanna make love to you" by Etta James (music from the cola advert with the window cleaner). It's loud and rousing.

I do get a lot of texts, and they're less urgent. They are signalled by a little bit of drifty celtic music.

And my alarm starts gently with birdsong increasing in volume till I'm fully awake.

I use one that I've been using for years that's meant to be entirely subtle, but gradually increases its efforts to get your attention over time. It began life as a MIDI ringtone, but I like it so much I had to convert it to MP3 for the N900..

MP3 Here

I've got the original MIDI file somewhere if anyone wants to experiment with different instruments/effects..

That's basically the same as Attraction, except it only uses 2 notes. They don't make those any more.

Not sure I've ever heard Attraction, but I'll take your word for it ;)

I just like how simple yet effective it is; you can hear it really easily in all kinds of environments, yet it tends not to disturb anyone who's not listening for it.. I've had it go off in meetings and presentations quite a few times without anyone even batting an eye.

I was actually quite surprised to discover the N900 didn't support MIDI ringtones, but I suppose there's not much *ahem* call for them these days..


I used Aria Maestosa to convert it.. fun little app -- wonder if anyone could get it running on Maemo

Tuatha de Danann's "A Song for Oengus". Unfortunately, the only clip on YouTube is a guitar solo later in the song.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mVWSkImI09o

It is available on iTunes, tho.

In comparison, I'll put up the other song of their's which I was looking as using as a ring tone: "The Oghma's Rheel"

Fortunate Son - CCR. Makes a GREAT ringtone. Starts off a little quiet with just the drums, then the famous guitar riff kicks in a few seconds later. And it makes people smile.

I've used that same ring tone since I got my first Nokia 9290 and still use it today on my N900. :)

Music ringtones? Mehh, I use the sweetest music to a car guy's ears as my ring tone.

Ferrari 458 Italia on track going through the gears ring tone.

A little something different than the other ring tones in the cube farm. :D

Someday I'll get around to modifying Agent Orange's Miserlou or Pipeline as a ring tone...

I always keep my phone in silent profile, so my ringtone is simply "bzzzzz bzzzzzzzz bzzzzzzzz bzzzzzzzzzz" on the table :)

Technically it is still set to the default nokia song...

MGMT - Time to pretend: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ChynfWBSNQ0

Almost perfect for a ring tone - it starts up slow and quiet, and if you don't notice it it will raise for another level, and another... You'll notice it soon enough.

Re: Whats your ringtone?
 
For Ringtones i mostly use songs which have great guitar intros or solos. Im varying often between Dire Straits, Bob Dylan, The Who and stuff. My current one is Walk of Life by Dire Straits.

As for SMS tone i have an 5 or 6 secs clip of breaking glass :D .
Love to see the reactions of people when riding on the bus und suddenly they hear a window or a bottle breaking.

For Email notif. i didn't know what to pick but i didn't want to use the default either so i now i enjoy the sound of Super Mario Bros. Theme.

I have never liked such ringtones that usually come with a phone.
These midi-style tones that just do weird noises...

Them damn kids watched it so much, the song has been burned into my skull forever, now I make sure it stays there.


For a while I used "And Your Bird Can Sing" from The Beatles.
