For me my standard ringtone is a steady 16,000 Hz which I can only hear from about 6 inches from my phone. I'm an old guy and my high frequency hearing isn't what it used to be. So if you're not in my contacts list with your own specialized ringtone I just don't notice you calling at all.
But friends and family are assigned this:

(1,924 posts)My phone's ringtone is never on. Its always on vibrate. And for the few times I don't have my phone on me, I have my watch and it will vibrate and notify me if someone is calling or texting.

(22,037 posts)It sounds like an acoustic guitar strumming a chord progression. Its one of the standard sounds on iPhones.
Boring but I dont hear it on others phones

(34,136 posts)I tried assigning ringtones to people but then I wouldn't realize it was my phone ringing since I seldom get calls on my cell. So I stuck to this. My ringtone for my husband was ten seconds of "All Together Now" with the lyrics:
One, two, three, four
Can I have a little more?
Five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten
I love you
My ringtone for my sister was from "Carry On" - Carry on, love is coming, love is coming to us all.
I thought about using "Hello, Goodbye" or "Ob-La_Di, Ob-La-Da" by the Beatles or "Something Happening" by Buffalo Springfield (actually For What It's Worth) or maybe the beginning of "Marrakeesh Express" by Crosby, Stills & Nash, but "Time Warp" fit better. Plus it starts out soft and gets louder.
I also have the CTU ringtone if I wanted to use it.
