What Does Your Ringtone Say About You?
David Ewalt of Forbes examines the meaning behind customized rings. Of course, as he notes, "most ringtones don't even sound like a real song. They sound like the computer-generated bleeps that they are."
Depending on who's calling or which alarm I'm using, my phone plays "California Dreamin'," "I'm Just a Girl," "London Calling," and "Rock Lobster." None of them sound much like the songs, but at least they don't sound like someone else's phone. And, lest I confuse the phone with the radio when I'm driving, it also vibrates.
