Welcome Wednesday: What's your favorite ringtone?

Dave LIAO

👋 Hey Atlassian Community denizens!

It's time for another Welcome Wednesday, a chance for you to participate on the forums with questions and prompts that aren't necessarily about Atlassian tools. 🙃

For this week's question: What's your favorite ringtone?

Was there a song that captures your personality so perfectly that you had to have it as your ringtone?
Maybe there's a sound effect from a film or videogame that you were obsessed with?
Whatever you're thinking - is it STILL your ringtone?

📢 Looking forward to your comments! Maybe I'll even change my ringtone... 👀

PSA: If you've got Marimba set as your ringtone and you've never chosen it, choose something different and exciting please! 🤪🤪🤪

I'm a horribly boring person who keeps my phone on silent ALL THE TIME, so I never hear my ring tone (also, shame on anyone who calls without explicit permission!)

That said, I keep it set to 'old phone' for nostalgia reasons

Anwesha

That’s a good one 😀 I am still stuck with GOT (game of thrones) violin 🎻 ringtone! It’s been ages but still haven’t changed yet 🤣

Chris Rainey

My favorite video game franchise of all time is the Legend of Zelda. The Master Sword is even my profile avatar in my organization's Atlassian instance.

My favorite (and current) text tone is the chime when you find a secret.

I keep my phone on silent most of the time so I don't get too many opportunities to hear it but when I do, it brings me great joy and memories from a lifetime of playing LoZ games.

Amanda Barber

Like @Anne Saunders, my phone is always on vibrate only...TBH, I probably wouldn't know my phone rang without my smartwatch!

Iryna _Zhade Labs_

My favorite ringtone is probably silent mode 😄
After too many notifications during the day, silence feels premium.

My favorite ringtone for business is the theme of "Mission Impossible" - but I don't hear it that often because mostly it is on focus mode 🙈

Stephen.Lugton

Back in the days when I had a Nokia my ringtone was the Airwolf theme, in fact I now have it as my ringtone again!

At one point I had my ex mother in law's ringtone as the Imperial March ...

Barbara Szczesniak

Well, @Dave LIAO, although my ringtone was not set to Marimba, I was not excited about the one I have been using. Your question prompted me to change it. I have chosen Strum.

I don't usually use silent, but I set my ringer volume very low. Most times I also only know it's ringing based on my smartwatch.

Dave LIAO

🤣 Yeah, my phone is mostly on vibrate.

When it's on, I currently have it play the jingle from when you walk into a specific Taiwanese convenience store. It amuses me personally, and no one really gets it unless they've lived in Taiwan.

Dave LIAO

@Anwesha Pan - oh neat, the GOT theme song?

Dave LIAO

@Chris Rainey - YES! I used to have the rupee chime as a "you've got a new SMS" sound! Way better than the Super Mario Bros. gold coin sound.

Dave LIAO

@Amanda Barber - you just reminded me to DISABLE my smartwatch notification for when people call! One vibration is enough for me. 🤣🤣🤣

Dave LIAO

@Iryna _Zhade Labs_ - "silence feels premium"

Agreed. 🙃

@Carsten Severin _KUMAVISION AG_ - love that as a ringtone choice, you really want to answer before it's too late 🥲

Dave LIAO

Anyone who has their phone set to Marimba will never see this Community post. 🥲

For the rest of you watching this thread, have you seen the Taskmaster challenge where folks are supposed to make a music video from ringtones? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qZuQko04kXk

Anwesha

Yes you got it right 😀🙌🏻 @Dave LIAO

Brita Moorus

My phone is basically on silent mode 24/7 🙈 At this point, vibrations and smartwatch notifications are doing all the heavy lifting 📱⌚

Also fully agree with the anti-Marimba movement. Some sounds instantly transport you straight back to 2009 😭

John Funk

Wait, do people still take calls on their phone???

Stephen.Lugton

Yes, how else can our parents / grandparents get in touch with us?

John Funk

ouch, haha.

Stephen.Lugton

My Dad is proud of the fact that he's never used social media and not sent a text for I don't know how long, he only uses email for formal communications, the phone has a curly cord, and his calendar is a physical calendar on the wall in the kitchen - technology has largely passed him by,

Amy Schindel

My phone is always on silent as well, however if I do happen to have the volume turned on my main ringtone is the Scooby Doo theme song Except for my daughter where it's Rainbow Connection from the Muppets. I often have emergency bypass turned on for my daughter (she's 17) and it scares me every time she calls. LOL.

My text message tone is the doorbell from the Jetsons.

One time, I had my ringer on and had set my phone on my laptop right by the microphone apparently (I have it docked so I rarely use my actual laptop). I run our daily standups and someone called and it blasted through everyone's speakers...

Dave LIAO

Ahhhh!! The Jetsons doorbell, such a good sound!! ✨🤖
