Electric cars have to make noise on purpose because otherwise it would be a silent car. And most of these noises are are weird futuristic WEEEE-00000 UFO sounds. Therefore I posit that we should be able to change the noises our electric cars make

      Motorola put out pc software that allowed you to transfer any mp3 file you had to your phone and use it as a ringtone. AFAIK it only worked with their devices, but it felt awesome doing that and then checking how much money I didn’t just spend.

      I wish we could bring back custom ring tones. Some people use the same sound for calls that I use for wake-up alarms. It’s jarring when I hear it, especially since my phone likes to fuck around on its own in my pocket sometimes (even though I use a biometric lock, it still finds a way.)

        What do you mean “bring back”? At least with Android, any audio file you can transfer to your device can be used as a ringtone.

        You can do this with any android phone and probably any iphone. My text notification is the “!” Alert noise from Metal Gear Solid.

        Do you have one of those old people limited phones or something? Every phone supports custom ringtones lol.
