Bold of you to assume my phone hasn't been on vibrate for the last 15 years.

I think I heard it once in the past ten years. I was very confused by this sound.

Who the fuck doesn't leave their phone on silent/vibrate?
I don't even get why people need ringtone anymore. I can hear my phone vibrate from across the room and if its in another room, it's there for a reason and I'm not picking up anyway
My phone is brand spanking new and probably considered to be a flagship device, but the vibrate is pitifully weak where I often don't notice my phone going off while wearing it in my own damn pocket.
In general though, I've always had my ringer on while at home in case I set my phone down and need to know someone called. In public I leave it off generally.

Monkey Island main theme, 1 bit PC speaker version
Monkey Island main theme, but the one from Tales as it's shorter and doesn't take ages to ramp up.
I remember typing out the notes to Monkey Island on my old Nokia in the early 2000s. Took me ages, but it was so worth it :)
Mute
The intro music from the American TV show Knightrider
brrrrrrrrrrrrrr brrrrrrrrrrrrrr brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
I haven't taken my phone off vibrate for 4 years
Don't know, never had it turned on lol
The Doctor Who theme. Specifically the theme from David Tennents run.
At some point the the Eccleston/Tennent run I had just the sound of the TARDIS landing as my ringtone. When it would go off in a crowd it was a great was to spot my fellow geeks.
Darude - Sandstorm
The main theme from Laputa: Castle in the Sky. It's been that for the past 7 or more years. May change it to another Ghibli movie theme song.

But a version without the sound effects. Yes, it's amazing.
The Steel Samurai ringtone from Ace Attorney. I don't know why I love it so much.

The one from The Expanse (not the theme, the one that all the "phones" in the series have).

Funny to see how everyone here tries to have music and stuff that's fun and is pleasant to those around them then you have me who has plus boy to encourage me to respond before my ring tone gets to the horny bit
The instrumental version of "Still Alive" that the radios in the original Portal play.
Rob Bass and DJ EZ Rock's "It Takes Two" (just looping the part you're thinking of).
Tetris.
Instantly recognisable, loud enough to hear, raises a smile from strangers on the bus.
Professer Professorson's ringtone from Community. It's the 'suspense sound' Dun Dun DUUNNN!
It's a fantastic ringtone when it goes off at odd times. Like during a bad guys lecture in D&D.
Discord Rare mix.
Ringtone is made to be one but more fun.
Slayer - Raining Blood
Bananaphone
My ringtone is the GameCube startup sound and my Notification sound is the AIM Message sound.
Weirdly enough.. Shellshock - 8-bit (Victory Tune)
Even though my phone's on vibrate all the time. Lol.
one of the pre put ones
Theme from 'The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly' by Ennio Morricone.
Default Android ringtone for calls.
However my signal/whatsapp message tone is Sergeant Doakes from Dexter saying "Surprise Motherfucker!", which occationally turns some heads in public.
Anything I use as a ringtone will cause me to hate it, so I use the Homing grenade sound from Borderlands 2. Looking back on that decision, there are more useful sounds to be instinctually aware of, but boy do I bolt awake when a random bandit has a homing grenade.
My notification sounds are the skill level up sound from Borderlands 2 and the Void Reaver denonation sound from Risk of Rain 2 for important things. I've also used the notification sound and train whistle from Rollercoaster Tycoon.
If I were to change my ringtone today, I'd probably go with Run! from Deep Rock Galactic, or one of the battle themes from FTL. Maybe the baseline from a Death by Glamour cover, but I'd fear I'd come to hate that sound, so maybe not.
See, I have my alarm sound to be different from my ringtone, otherwise I'd end up hating my ringtone too
Before I switched from conventional communication, my ringtone for the longest time was the unsuspecting sound of a baby crying, which once served as an April Fool's joke but also something that predated and went longer than that. Now that conventional phones have tried to make it more and more difficult to actually get a custom ringtone, I don't know what the future holds but know the change I made gives me my best chances of having a ringtone tradition.
The Avengers theme. My alert is Cap shouting "Language!"
I know it's goofy, but it's some sort of chip tune song that played in the background of an app patcher program that I used forever ago to install some pirated game or app or something.
I have no idea what the song is called and it doesn't seem to exist on the Internet. It's just on my phone as an .MP3 file (and on my computer within a sketchy program called patch.exe). Dunno why I drifted to it.
My text notification tone is the notification sound from RollerCoaster Tycoon 1/2 (ex: "3 peeps have drowned" popup). It works well.
One of the Samsung default ones. It's apparently called "Space Bell". My phone is basically always on vibrate though, so it really doesn't matter much.
I have a ringer that starts at a highish frequency and then with each ring drops lower. I find the changing frequency helps me pick it out from background noise.
