Cell phones capable of custom ringtones have been with us for quite a few years now and with them, some pretty obnoxious ring tones.

I used to sport an old fashioned telephone bell ring tone but all of the fam hated it, so changed it to Mungo Jerry "In The Summertime" and now have settled on Omar and the Howlers "Black Bottom". Kids and wife all use some song that starts of with quite a bit of sound.

So what of everyone else - generic preloaded ring tones, custom ring tones or songs?

I currently have the throat croak from the Grudge as my ringtone. Sometimes I'll use the death ringtone from One Missed Call (JPN). Always amusing to see girls at a crowded public place start panicking whenever my phone rings.

EDIT: I was using this for a bit but the fact that I couldn't find a version that did not get louder and louder annoyed me. If one of you audio editing geniuses can do one up for me, I shall pray that a thousand glorious poontangs may find it's way in front of you.

Family - Metal Gear Solid Snake Ringtone
Work - 24 Ringtone
Normal - Right now, it's "Can't Hold Us Down" by Mackelmore but it changes from time to time
If I know you well, you have a custom ringtone (Super Mario, "Cult of Personality", "Like a G6", etc.)

I run through a bunch from http://cleartones.net also the one used in the BBC TV series Wallander, which is not to be found anywhere anymore in an accurate tone. Also a few from iRingPro (malware for some reason on the website). Bang & Olufsen used to make cell phones until 2010, I use a couple of their ringtones called "Steel" and "Bronzel". Finding any examples of these audio files is pretty much impossible, the lawyers must be hard at work.

95% of the time my phone is on vibrate.

Had that for the longest time. Not too tacky and catches your (and everyone else's') attention.

Other than that I used the Good the bad the ugly song as well. Pretty funny when it went off in a store once. Everyone turned around and laughed.

Ringing phones are obnoxious and bothersome. For those who keep their phone in their pocket or belt clip, why not just have it on vibrate? I don't even know what my ringtone is since my phones are on vibrate from the moment I acquire them.

Office phone - Theme from Toe Jam & Earl
Cell phone - Theme from Californication
Text messages - The Barry White sounding robot cop from Futurama saying "Oh yeahhhh". Always creeps people out when my pocket makes that sound.

I run the same set up. Get Lucky for all phone calls but instead of Bump n' Grind I have the announcer from NBA Jam who says, "BOOM SHAKA LAKA"

Had it for the last 3 years. Starts out with a sick synth so it's electronic sounding.

For ringtone I use either the theme from Flash Gordon or The Godfather. Depends on the mood.

If for some reason it rings/dings for a call or message, it's only because the button slide over. I put it back on vibrate right away.
