2021 Download The Tune Ringtone

Calum Newton, who goes by CandyMoore.mp3 on social media, created an incredible remix of the ringtone, so we reached out and asked him to create a version that we could share with you. His remix is now available for users to customize their Teams experience, and it hits hard enough to make you want to dance.
I have the same issue, exactly and no matter which of the above steps I try, I cannot change the ringtone on my brand new Chime. It is just so amazing. I wonder where I else I could post to get some attention to this, like Wirecutter. Or iFixit or Consumer Reports. Customers have gone for over a year without a fix? Really?

Our team is a month in to using Zen Voice. We would love to be able to change the ringtone for incoming calls. Our reps have nightmares of the default ringtone after work away from the phones. A choice of ringtones or being able to upload our own ringtones would be fantastic.
+9000 for basic customization options for calls. Volume control would be great so that when I'm enjoying the daily grind and listening to "Today" by The Smashing Pumpkins via Spotify and I'm tip-tap-typing away at some customer emails I don't immediately receive a full-body wave of depression as that intrusive, painful ringtone blasts into my skull. B'great.
+15 bumps for this feature.
The Agents in our organization would LOVE this option. I've personally answered over 25,230 zendesk voice calls over the last 4-5 years since ZenDesk introduced the Voice/Talk feature.
I can't exaggerate how many times my imagination has tried to convince me that I'm hearing the inbound ringtone in the back of my mind, even when it's outside of business hours! lol... I'm ashamed to admit that I've even heard it in my dreams. In MY DREAMS, ZenDesk! PLEASE, let us change it up, even if it was just a few alternate notification sounds, we could at the VERY LEAST, change it to hear something different for once.
Honestly, I have no hope that this will ever be updated since it has been over 5 years since this was posted... But just putting it out there that many of us are still waiting for this and would love to see this very simple feature (changing the ringtone) implemented.
Hence, people under Work would have one ringtone, Family another, Friends a different one, etc. I get that there would be some overlap (people in two groups), but then the default would be which ever ringtone las last applied (individual or group).
I found a ghetto work-around for group ringtones on the iPhone. It's sort of annoying but once you get it set up, its easy to then change a group ringtone. You have to set the ringtone for each one of your contacts, but only ONCE, and then changing the ringtone for a group is easy. You won't want to do this unless you enjoy changing your ringtones every so often.
1. Create a custom ringtone for each group you want to set, and give it a default name that you recognize (ie "AA_Family" "AA_Friends" "AA_Work" etc). I put the "AA_" in front so it shows at the top of my ringtones list on the iPhone.
3. Now the annoying part...you have to go into each contact and set the ringtone for each one according to the group they belong to. I know, this sucks. But I have about 150 contacts, and I did it, and it didn't seem to take me THAT long. You get into a rhythm and just knock it out. (First try just setting it for a few contacts, maybe 10 that are in the same group, because if you don't follow these instruction correctly you will have to do it all over again.)
4. Now, if you ever want to change a group's ringtone, just create a new custom ringtone, and rename the file the same as the default name (ie "AA_Family") and replace the file in your library. Then, when you sync, it will just update the ringtone for everyone in that group.
For example, let's say you have a custom ringtone for the song "Thriller" (named Thriller.m4r) and you want to set that for your "AA_Family" group ringtone. You do the file rename/replace and stuff in your iTunes library, but make sure that Thriller.m4r is NOT in your iTunes library when you sync. If it is, it will mess up the group ringtone stuff you just did and set the ringtone of everyone in that group to "Thriller" instead of "AA_Family".
So, I just changed my family group ringtone to Thriller, and now I want to change it to Jingle Bells. I do the same rename/replace procedure, and I make sure that JingleBells.m4r is not in my iTunes library. Thriller.m4r isn't in my library either because I removed it before. Just make sure that you don't add it back in on this sync either because it will mess up the group ringtone stuff. But I want Thriller as a ringtone still on my iPhone, just not as a group ringtone, so what do I do? Well, just do one sync to update the group ringtone (without Thriller in the library), and check it to make sure it worked. Then add Thriller.m4r to your iTunes library, and sync again. Now you have Jingle Bells as a group ringtone, and Thriller.m4r as a single ringtone.
The iPhone knows that song you are playing regardless of the filename of your ringtone. As long as you don't have conflicts, you'll be alright. Hopefully this isn't too confusing. I tried to be clear without typing out a novel. Again, this is really only helpful if you enjoy changing out your group ringtones often like I do.

In the era of mobile phone ubiquity, one ringtone has stood the test of time more than any other: Nokia's default ringtone. Apple's iPhone ringtones may have become more ubiquitous, but the Nokia ringtone has been a cellular handset staple for several years longer than the iPhone has been on the market. Though Nokia has fallen from its previous heights atop the mobile phone industry, the catchy little tune is instantly recognizable, which was the case back when it was a series of beeps and bloops instead of a recorded musical performance. By 2011, Nokia even held a contest where it named the best remix of "the Nokia tune."
The Nokia ringtone is so recognizable, in fact, that when Nokia sponsored the commercial-free series premiere of ABC's "Alias" in 2001, the handset maker was rewarded with a bit of very plot-relevant product placement. In the episode's climactic fight scene, the protagonist, Jennifer Garner's Sydney Bristow, uses the very recognizable ringtone as a distraction to get the upper hand. By then, the ringtone was well-known enough that simply having it used prominently a few times in quick succession functioned as some serious product placement for Nokia, which continued to sponsor the series going forward.
Where exactly did that jaunty little tune come from, though? Was it written specifically for Nokia? Was it an employee digging up something they had previously written but not published, like Cisco's ubiquitous on-hold music? Or was it borrowed from a previously published piece of music?
The direct inspiration for the Nokia ringtone was a snippet of "Gran Vals," a 1902 song from classical guitarist Francisco Tárrega. (The portion used for the ringtone starts at the 12-second mark of the recording.) With the song being in the public domain without any copyright hurdles to clear, the particular catchy section we all know made plenty of sense to adopt as a ringtone. Various songs had been tested before Nokia put out its first handset with the tune in 1994, but not all were public domain, so it's easy to see why "Gran Vals" made the cut.
However, that's not the whole story. On Nokia phones, in the ringtone selection menu, the signature tune was called "Grande Valse" instead of "Gran Vals." That's because Tárrega took part of the snippet used for the ringtone from Frederic Chopin's composition named, wait for it, "Grande Valse." He added to it, as the Nokia ringtone is not identical to the relevant section of the Chopin song, but it wasn't an entirely original creation on his part.
Another notable musician was involved as well, but not in the way that Frederic Chopin and Francisco Tárrega were. British synth-pop artist turned music technology entrepreneur Thomas Dolby and his team at Beatnik developed the synthesizer used by those early Nokia handsets to play the signature ringtone. "We probably would have gone up in smoke like most of those dot coms, were it not for the fact that the world's largest phone manufacturer, Nokia, came along and licensed the synthesizer that we created," he told the BBC in 2011. "The melody was already their jingle, but the first polyphonic ringtone of it was made by my team."
The man behind 1982's hit single "She Blinded Me with Science" also told the BBC that Nokia initially wanted to use contemporary hit songs for its stock ringtones, only to pivot to classical music when company brass realized how much current songs would cost them in royalty payments. "The lawyers kind of go, 'Wait a minute, you can't just ship music on a phone,'" Dolby further added in a 2013 appearance on "The Nerdist" (now "ID10T"). "'You'd have to pay millions and do deals with Sony and Warner and all the writers and stuff.' And somebody says, 'What about if it's a dead guy?' 'That's probably OK if he's been dead for 75 years.'"
