Ringtones are a convenient way to distinguish an incoming call. They are usually an excerpt from a musical composition. They can be less than 30 seconds long and are saved in the phone's memory. The phone can then play the selected note to signal a ringing call. In addition, some ringtones can even be customized by using cellphone applications.
Another option is to download a free audio editing program to create your own ringtones. These software programs can help you create a custom ringtone that is free of charge, and often save the audio in various audio formats. Audacity is one such program. You can also use audio file splitters, which are easier to use than full-blown audio editors.
Polyphonic ringtones can play multiple notes or multiple instruments at the same time. Polyphonic ringtones use 16 different tones and are considered more musical than monophonic ringtones. Some newer smartphones support polyphonic ringtones.
