Out on a job recently, and met an adjoiner. Then, suddenly I heard a loudly bleating goat. It we quite loud, and realistic. I was startled. It was coming from their utv.

Just a cell phone ring tone.

I've heard one before that sounded like a squealing pig.

I've heard a braying jack donkey. And, a stuttering auctioneer. (I don't know what you call it).

It's interesting the sounds we might hear, in some places...

Thank you,

Nate

I made my own distinctive one using an audio editing program and loaded to the phone. It starts out soft and gets louder so I can respond before it is too annoying to other people, but gets loud enough I can hear it if the phone is in the next room.

Mine is very annoying and very loud.?ÿ It can shock the paint off the walls.

Still, cruisin' down the highway in my old pickup with the 2-65 AC going I might realize what's happening by the third ring.

This is the one on my phone. It's a hoot in the grocery store.

A friend used to use a wolf howl. Made me jump all the time.

Mine is a military bugle call - "Alarm - Troops To Turn Out Under Arms"

The txt message call is a little softer - a recording of a New Zealand Bellbird

I'm old school. My ringtone is the first two bars of Iron Butterfly's song In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida.?ÿ?ÿ

My text message signal sounds a bit like a bulb horn on a '21 Duesenberg.?ÿ Not that I would know that from personal experience, unlike a few other regular (??) posters here.

I used to have one that sounded much like this, but it was annoying and I gave it up:

My phone ringtone is the guitar solo from Led Zeppelin's Whole Lotta Love.?ÿ My text ringtone is the intro to the Stones Can't You Hear Me Knocking.

@mkennedy

About 5 years ago we had a new recruit, whos (sp) ringtone was a screaming woman, like from a horror movie. When it rang, which was quite often, it scared the life out of all of us (potentially leading to an accident), including the new recruit - then he'd giggle a bit and answer it. By lunchtime I advised he should change it, or ship out.

NO CELL PHONE RINGTONE HERE!!!

Learned I DID NOT always need to be connected during the 1970s. Mining and construction company had commercial and/or CB radios in all vehicles. Can not count how many days plan was sidetracked before 10:00 AM. Retired now and land line is more telephone than I need.

@flga-2

If you hear that in the wild for the first time you will be amazed, if you hear it in the grocery store, it will wear thin quickly. But in Florida it should be a hoot. I would go for it. Everyone's hard of hearing there anyway.?ÿ

Call me boring, mine is on silent...

I'm not smart enough to change it; without inviting a bunch of spam to contact me. Mine's the T-Mobile jingle, every time I hear the commercial; I think my phone's ringing.

This reminds me, the first cell phone I ever had...

I had just left the cell phone store, new phone clipped to my jeans pocket. I went south to do a little shopping and there I was, paying for my items when I heard a sound coming from the direction of the front door. The door had just opened so I figured it was the "door bell" telling the occupants that someone else had entered the store.

I get back to my vehicle and realize I have 2 missed calls. It wasn't the "door bell" it was my new phone ringing on my hip. DOH!
