Ringtones are small audio files that are played on a mobile phone when a call is made or an alert is received. They are usually no more than 30 seconds long, and they can be monophonic, polyphonic or truetone.

Definition

A klingeltöne is a melodic sound that a mobile phone plays when an incoming call or message arrives. They are a great way to differentiate between work and personal calls and to help people identify the source of the call.

Originally, telephone bells were struck electromechanically to generate the tone that alerted someone to an incoming call. Today, ringtones can be any musical melody or sound clip that is used to notify people of an incoming call or message.

They can be downloaded from various websites. Some websites charge a fee for their services, but most allow users to download free ringtones.

Some websites also let users create their own ringtones by uploading music clips or songs. These ringtones can be saved as mp3 files, which are compatible with most cell phones.

You can make your own ringtone using Apple Music, iTunes or other programs. Once you have a song on your computer, you can use a program like Sound Studio to convert the file into a ringtone format.
