If you’re on Windows then CNET has this fine recommendation but there are (again!) several good Google results. (I found out later that I could have found it in MP3 version too, of course, but let’s ignore that for the sake of demonstration.) I use Linux so all I had to do was open my Software Center and download a small free tool for this (likely works on several Linux flavors). This time the sound files were in WAV format, so I had to convert them into MP3 before I could use them. Again Google, again a result with a perfect hit (and some bonus goodies). I also wanted a ship’s whistle as my phone’s ringtone, preferably the one from Star Trek. These sites might have the sounds you’re looking for too, but if not, Google is your friend. Both provided MP3 downloads, so this was really easy. I wanted a sonar “ping” to use as notification sound, and I simply googled “sonar ping MP3” and found two good sites: SoundJax and Zedge. You probably have different tastes than I do, but let’s still take my sounds as an example. The essence is that you’ll need to find your desired sounds in MP3 format, or if you find them in another format you will have to convert them to MP3. Copy them to the phone (and configure the phone to actually use the new sounds).Find the sounds you want (and possibly edit them to make them shorter?).The only obstacle I found was that no single page described the process – so I am setting out to do that here. I knew I would probably be able to find the sounds on the Internet, and surely it must be possible to copy them to my phone so that they can be assigned as ringtones and notification sounds.Īs it turns out, achieving this is really easy. I had an idea to use certain sounds on my Android, but they’re not included among the standard sounds.
