Lovely zombie!  
Somehow mine got accidentally set to “Choo choo”, and since it always cracks up both me and my cube mates, I’ve left it there.  
I wanted to make mr. singular’s tone the wicked witch tone when I’m pissed at him, but I never figured it out. Tips for iPhone?

The theme to The Magnificent Seven. I’m well past due for a change, but everybody knows it’s my phone that is ringing because that’s been my ringtone for over 15 years.

The one on my phone the I could find that sounds most like an old bell-type ringer on an old ( up to the early 90s? ) phone.

No mistaking it for the myriad of other “designer” ring tones out there.

One I might try to find is if there’s one that has the dive siren of a WW2 Junkers Ju-87 ‘Stuka’ dive bomber…replete with Doppler effect. Sounds wicked.

I am using one of the stock available ones on my new iphone. It sounds like weird theremin music from a 1950s sci-fi movie.
