Curious what kind of alarm/ringtone people are rocking. Gentle and subtle tunes or straight up horrible loud alarms?

It’s funny how, back in the day, getting a new phone meant immediately going through all the ringtones to pick the one you liked best. Nowadays, most people - myself included - just leave it on the default. I honestly can’t remember the last time I changed a ringtone or message tone. I might have on my old Nokia N73, but not since. The alarm tone I do change, though - I don’t need to be screamed at first thing in the morning. Just the vibration alone is enough to wake me up.

That said, I’ve actually been considering changing the ringtones for both of my SIM cards. Apparently everyone here has a Samsung, and nobody seems to change their ringtone - so every time I’m at the hardware store and a phone rings, you get like seven builders all pulling out their phones at once. Since I don’t particularly enjoy talking on the phone, every time I hear my ringtone - even if it’s from someone else’s phone - it gives me this little PTSD flash.
