Looking for ringers that are not obnoxious

I can't help you, this is my ringtone.

 

[Lady Siara]

I'm using the Main theme of d4 as my text tone right now
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wbDmYQiQ3j8
because I'm a crazy asshole who really likes to hear whole songs.

I'm using this as my ringtone from about 1 minute and 56 seconds onwards. It works quite well as it's catchy and still ringtone-esque so it doesn't attract unwanted attention. I wish I could hear the whole thing, though.

 

[Capitan]

i had the "you did something" sound from zelda for a while. I dig it, and i don't think it's obnoxious.
However, i changed it at some point to the communicator sound from star trek.

 

[Banderdash]

Some of the stuff from Super Meat Boy is excellent.
I use the Hospital Theme.

[Justinh]

I used to use this, but I chopped off like...the first 5 or 6 seconds

Beyond Good and Evil Soundtrack- 'Home Sweet Home'

this too, although it's not from a video game, it's video gamey

ANIMAL STYLE // ARPS AND ARCS

All I use now is the Dethphone ringer from Metalocalypse, though...

Persona 4: Aha! Is this our chance?
Sinistar: Beware, I live
The other Sinistar sound bytes.
Rhythm Heaven: Wubba dubba dub is that true?

For this one, I actually had it set up so that every time I got a text, it would be a different variation of "Wubba dubba dub is that true?" or "Woah! You go big guy!" You can get them all here.

Pacman Championship Edition DX: Fruit eat sound.
Dark Souls II:

You you, give us smooth.
Yes, you! Give us silky!
Ya ya. So nice. So smooth.
Yeah yeah! Silky smooth!​

Ringtones/Alarms

Nintendoland: 8-bit Theme song
Intro tune (this is a GREAT alarm)
Luigi's Mansion 2: Dual Scream Alert

 

[Tricky I Shadow]

The World Ends With You - Calling

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i0569Wt-cZ0

You stole my reply.

 

[Roto13]

First thing I did when I got my new phone was set the ringtone to Fetch's ringtone from InFamous: First Light.

So I've learned that Fetch's ringtone is a sample from a song from the first InFamous (which I played, but didn't recognize), so I made a higher quality version than the one Sucker Punch distributed.

 

[Slackerchan]

I just updated my phone to the Cinder theme from Killer Instinct 2013 (starting at about 5:15) for calls. For notifications I have the flag pickup sound from Assassin's Creed 1.

 

[adamantypants]

I've been using the codec ringtone from Metal Gear for about 9 years

My text/email alert is the Street Fighter 2 character select sound.

 

[Seanlole]

I'm using this variation of mario kart 8 title screen as an incoming call ringtone, but i also used the dual destiny's pursuit theme.

notifications:
TF 2's Scout "ding dong" for mail
Pikmin's "pikmin" (the first one) for messages.

 

[fester]

I currently use the PlayOnline theme (FFXI).

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5ZkVv4pJqNc

Man, that nostalgia. Made the whole FFXI experience feel like something special and cool was about to happen.

 

[Roto13]

Pacman Championship Edition DX: Fruit eat sound.

I used to have Pac-Man's death noise for alerts. Drove my husband out of his mind. Eventually I started finding it really distracting whenever I died playing Pac-Man.

 

[phanphare]

I use this as my text message and email notification

http://noproblo.dayjo.org/ZeldaSounds/WW_New/WW_Get_Item.wav

 

[GraceflAnger]

I still use the codec tone, since it just sounds like a ringtone anyway. I also would theme my 6 most frequent callers as the 6 warp songs from ocarina of time.

Dude that is a genius idea.

 

[Codeblue]

The Smash remix of Town hall and Tom Nook's Store will always be my ring tone. The whistling is just so catchy.

 

[ugh_the_boot]

I use Streets of Rage 2 music for my ring tones and alarm clock. All the tracks are good, just pick one. I like the later stages because the music is a bit more soothing for the alarm clock and the earlier stages because they are a bit more upbeat for the ringtones.

Also old game music (8-bit - 16bit) stuff just sounds better coming out of phones than music from newer games imo.

 

[cj_iwakura]

I use Village from Steins;Gate. (Okabe's ringtone)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XCXoFx8V66A

My text tone is 'Hey hey!' from Danganronpa 2.

 

[PapaEmeritus]

I'd really love some subtle souls ones. I have the nexus ringer on my phone now

 

[Parfait]

Currently use Waterbike from Sonic rush Adventure as my alarm and a few ringtones: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i6FUW7JfveE

Smoke Weed Everyday is my notification sound/text sound until I find the Star Ocean 3 sound effects i'm looking for, goddamn ripping ps2 game sounds is hell. There's 200k in SO3 disc 2 alone, and most of them are repeats....

 

[balladofwindfishes]

I use Doctor Mario Fever from Smash Melee as my ringtone. I like it because it kind of sounds like a generic ring tone, but it's a song some people might recognize. It's not overly gamey.

 

[SheHateMe]

I used MGS for YEARS. YEARS. So many years.

But then I had a baby boy and I couldn't scare him like that.

So, I started using this. Mega Man 2 Stage Select

 

[Toxi]

I should make the Savage Deviljho roar my ringtone, just to identify any monster hunter players who break out in cold sweats.

 

[Pejo]

Shadow's theme from FF6 is my new one. Such a good chill song, and if you have volume set to increase as it plays, it kicks in with the whistle at just the right time. I don't answer anyone on 1-2 rings anymore just because i wanna hear the song.

Previously I was using the FFXIV remake of the FF2 battle theme.

 

[mgs2master2]

Tagging this thread for future ringtones

 

[Pejo]

I currently use the PlayOnline theme (FFXI).

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5ZkVv4pJqNc

Damn nostalgia overload. I remember waking up hearing this song after passing out after playing long sessions. I feel like a LOT of FFXI music would be great for ringtones. Zi'tah and Ronfaure being 2 easy picks.

 

[Barrow Roll]

Used to use the No More Heroes theme, now I use the Malo Mart theme from Twilight Princess because I'm a doofus.

Text tones are various Tatl alerts from Majora's Mask, before I was using the Superintendent beeps from Halo 3 ODST.

 

[jotun?]

TF2 theme

 

[El Odio]

I have the Kirby 1-Up SFX as my text notification and The Spring Breeze themeas my ringtone.

Used to use this one from the thousand year door a while back: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YgSjQDpMOik

 

[ugh_the_boot]

I used to work with a guy that had the Metal Gear Solid exclamation mark/detected noise for their incoming message and one day when it went off I said to him "Metal Gear?" and he was like "What?", so i'm like "That sound you have when you receive a message it's off Metal Gear" and he's like "No it's not! What is Metal Gear?" SMH! What a retard lol

 

[DirgeExtinction]

Mine is obnoxious, it's Tiny Tina.

 

[Sephzilla]

I use the Metal Gear Alert noise for my notifications.

Ringtones aren't gaming related but my generic ringtone is Hulk Hogan's Real American, all of my close friends have different entrance themes for theirs.

 

[Thoraxes]

I use the Pluto Castle music from SMT IV as my ringtone.

 

[Mupod]

Phoenix Wright's ringtone because most people would hear it and just think it's some generic ringtone. But one of these days someone will recognize it. One of these days.

 

[Lafazar]

I use "The Tower" from Myst:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z3g91zo1tQg&list=PL1E2F81F280184A96&index=5

Begins subtly and gets slowly louder. Perfect for a ringtone.

 

[ZealousD]

Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney - Cornered (Variation)

Let me tell you why this is the best video game ringtone of all time.

1.) The Cornered theme is just amazing.
2.) It's loud and high energy so it gets your attention immediately, just like any ringtone should.
3.) The "variation" form of Cornered is especially good for a ringtone because it has the super brief intro then goes RIGHT into into the main thrust of the song. There is very little buildup. It just has a couple notes before going right into the main part of the song. The other version of Cornered takes a bit before it gets to that best part.

And there you have it guys. Cornered variation isn't the best just because the song is amazing, but because it functionally serves the purpose of a ringtone better than pretty much anything else. You're welcome.

 

[Veldin]

I've used Shenmue's Main Menu for the past year or so.

 

[Zekes!]

Some homie made a ringtone of the theme from the Persona 5 reveal trailer and posted it here; I use that.

I also use the OK desu ka sfx from Earthbound/Mother 3 too

 

[Shaneus]

I use the track select music from Virtua Racing. It's so good, and the perfect length too.

Have also used the theme from Mean Streets on PC, for that wonderfully cheesy retro-future vibe. It feels like I'm using a brick phone in 2035 or something.

 

[pixxxelz]

My current ringtone is Millia's themeThe Lily of Steel and the one before that was The Last of Us theme

 

[mrmickfran]

I have the Sun's Song from Zelda as my alarm.

 

[Nose Master]

Shovel Knight - Strike the Earth

That's what I use on my work phone (I don't work in an office.) Text for my personal phone is Protoman Whistle.

I have the Kirby 1-Up SFX as my text notification and The Spring Breeze themeas my ringtone.

Used to use this one from the thousand year door a while back: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YgSjQDpMOik

Kirby one is pretty legit for a ring tone.

 

[JSoup]

I always used to use various Sinister quotes for my text alerts. Not exactly subtle though.

https://youtu.be/APjf5A4TWTU

That...is the funniest damn thing I've read all day.

 

[Phantasmal Repose]

I'm using Modernism Street from Melty Blood as my ringtone.

My text tone is the Bayonetta platinum medal jingle.

 

[AmanoBuff]

Right now, I'm alternating my ringtone between:

Persona 4, Corner of Memories and

the first part of Final Fantasy Type-0, Mood Swings

As for my SMS alerts, I use the Persona 4 level up chime.

 

[HiroTSK5]

Ring tone: Divine Fire

Text: A New Meeting

 

[ss-hikaru]

My friend uses shulk's "I'm really feeling it!" for is text alert. Can't quite get enough of that online it seems lol

Same as my brother. I used Ike's Aether cos I'm similarly totally unsubtle. Although I put it on silent when I'm at work. For ringtone I use the Bravely Default picopico medley. And as my alarm on weekdays I use WELCOME TO DANGAN ISLAND (opening version) so I can feel the despair of another working day

 

[Astarte]

Does anyone else use this absolute gem from Deadly Premonition as their ringtone?

 

[Zubz]

My ringtones are all defaults, but the "Here Comes a New Challenger" jingle form SFII might make a good one for texts.

 

[SoapNickTavish]

Metal Gear Solid codec call for my ringer and spotted alert sound for my text tone.

I was just thinking today that the Modern Warfare 2 nuke countdown timer would be pretty obnoxious and hilarious to use as a ring tone. I'd definitely answer my phone with a sense of urgency.
