What SMS tone do you use most?

[TheSpaz]

This thread is for people who use the stock SMS tones and not for people who jailbreak and change them. So tell me, what's your favorite SMS tone?

Also, I wish Apple could give us the option to change them to whatever we like... it kinda sucks only having 6.

Personally, the only tone I like is Tri-Tone. The rest are extremely annoying to me. Glass would be cool if it was just one DING, but the 2 dings turns me off.

Chime sounds like it's time to turn the page
Glass's double-hit makes it sound like 2 text messages were received
Horn is really cheesy (again 2 sounds?)
Bell is okay, but it's freakin' LOUD
Electronic sounds like a ringtone instead of a text message.

JBn' but still use tri-tone. Even though it's the default, I love it for some weird reason

 

[acfusion29]

Tri-tone.

 

[TheSpaz]

Anyone ever check their phone when iTunes is done importing a CD? Hahaha!

 

[Mr. Giver '94]

Definitely Tri-Tone.

The others make me jump 4 feet in the air and have a heart attack every time I get a text.

I guess I was the only one that voted for glass. Tri-tone just got annoying after a while. And for your argument, I guess you can also add that tri-tone makes it sound like you were receiving 3 text messages.

Seriously, it's very simple to differentiate.

How does 'Tri-tone' sound like your receiving 3 text msgs?

Is there a delay like the 'Glass' ringtone, where it's like "ding (pause) ding? No.

I agree... there's no delay... Plus all 3 tones are different. It's not do..do..do... It's diddledo!

I use tri-tone. All the others just sound weird to me, I don't know. And I now have Adium set to use the exact same sound, so it can be a bit confusing sometimes...

I'm mocking the original poster man. Don't take it so literal.

Like I said, it's very simple to differentiate.

The poll should have a "Custom sound" choice. I have the Super Mario 1-UP chime.

 

[hellomoto4]

Used to use Horn but recently switched to Tritone.
I want user-selectable message tones, not just build in ones!!

Did you even READ the original post?

origionaly i voted electronic not reading the post mnot realizing it was for stock tones only, in that case i'd use tritone as of now i use MSN's Nudge sound and often a sound quote from monty python *arrow Flys through the air, Message for you sir!*

I'm sixteen, don't overestimate me.

I'm sixteen, don't overestimate me.

Most sixteen year-olds can read.

 

[cjm3113]

I am jailbroken and use custom ones, but I did use tri-tone before that. It's the only decent one.

 

[mrat93]

Most sixteen year-olds can read.

And many sixteen year-olds don't read what they're supposed to. I never said I couldn't read.

 

[ucfgrad93]

I use the Glass sound. I chose it because my daughter uses Tri-tone on her iPhone, and I wanted a different sound from her phone.

 

[MooneyFlyer]

Tri-tone. I'm clearly a lemming that never changed the default

 

[nomad01]

I'd love to use something different but the only one I can hear is Electronic.

All the others mean I miss text messages. :-(

 

[slashjunior]

I just use Tri-tone. The others sound a bit dull apart from horn, but that doesn't sound as professional

I use Viva Las Ringtone from Ringtone Feeder for my ringtone

 

[Mad Mac Maniac]

tri-baby!!

Yeah, if glass were just one ding i might use it....

Same here. I think this one is the loudest. Thats the only reason I use it.

 

[benflick]

I use Tri-Tone
Every once in a while I will change it, but I always change it back to Tri-Tone. Marimba is still my Ringtone as well.
