Work numbers get the 5 tones from Close Encounters (I was happily surprised just how many others here use that ringtone 🆒 ) Wife gets the LOUDEST ring (generic in the phone) I also use the Imperial march, Chewbacca’s “aarrrggggggg”, Homer’s “32 doh’s”, a recording of my 1 year old’s laugh (gotta love that one), “Stay on target” from SW:ANH, “I am e-vil Ho-mer”, amongst a few others. Oh, and the classic Star Trek commumicator “clicks” for new voice mails. ---

I had to make my own, since it wasn’t available anywhere I could find. That was surprising - it’s “First Call” which is the bugle call before a horse race. My backup, also homemade, is “Bulbous Bouffant” by The Vestibules. ---

Mine is the Indiana Jones theme. It makes me feel intrepid. Especially when it goes off in the ladies’ restroom at Target. ---

My default ringtone is Bon Jovi’s _Halfway There_. If it’s my mother calling, it’s the Rolling Stones’ _Beast of Burden._ If it’s my wife, it’s the Doors’ _Touch Me_. ---

[QUOTE=Team of Scientists] Hey, **bouv** , where did you find the CTU ringtone? I’ve been looking for that blasted thing everywhere on my phone’s ringtone programs. I have a feeling it’d get annoying after a while, but I still want it. [/QUOTE] I got it [here](http://www.ccir.ed.ac.uk/~jad/ringtone.html). Has just about every format used by cell phones, though depending on the make/model of your phone, it might be hard/impossible to get it on there.
