The "Dig My Awesome Alert Tones" thread

I just still wish I could download custom ones directly on my iphone without buying them or being jailbroken.

You know, have a website or here even serving them up and changing them on the fly.

I assume you mean without using iTunes?
 
I just setup my text tone as the tracker sound from 'Aliens.' My current ringtone is 'the four peters' from family guy. It was a real pain trying to find a sample sound file for the aliens motion tracker. I had to settle on a clip from the movie with some background noise, but otherwise not bad at all.

My sounds:

Text = Star Trek doors sound.
New mail = Federation transporter
Send mail = Klingon transporter
Voicemail = Enterprise going to warp

These are all from The Next Generation, I'd love to find some sound FX from the new movie.

Care to share them? I have the door sound but would love the rest!
 
Somebody should upload some at wars ones. There's killer alert tones iTunes from star wars I just don't wanna spend $10 downloading them all
 
I posted these in another thread, but I should add them here, too. Enjoy! 😀

Not sure if anyone has done or posted this before, but I thought others might benefit.

Here are all of the Mac OS X and Classic system sounds in iPhone Ringtone format. Download and unzip, then select all and double click to add to iTunes as ringtones or alert tones.

Great thread!

I tried some of the tones, but I'm unable to get them working for my Text alerts. I am able to select any of the included Alert/Ring tones as text tones, but for whatever reason, the custom tones do not work. Any ideas? Sorry if this is a hijack.

I'm a big Valve and Portal fan, so there are a slew of free ringtones and text tones from the game that you can download from Valve's site.


I use the Portal blue paint sound. (Lost on mere mortals unfamiliar with Portal 2.)
 
Awesome thread!! Click the link in my sig!! For about 20+ ringtones.

Also I want to ask if you guys are ok with me madding these together to make one conjoined text tone pack.

Yes, but we've never been able to make custom alert tones.

actually you can. you take your source, snip it, and then save it as a ringtone. although its not labeled as an alert tone, you can still choose that sound for your needs. i just tried it and it works.
 
EDIT: it appears my previous post has decided to show itself after all, disregard this post.
