Not one that you like too much, your brain will start associating it with a call instead of the song whenever you hear it elsewhere!

This is something I found out in 2004. I put one of my favorite songs as an mp3, cut it to 45 seconds, because storage in 2004 on phones was an actual issue. Then over the next 2 months I got SO SICK of one of my favorite songs, just because I heard it so many times.

I haven't done custom ringtones now in 20 years.

I bound the Ace Attorney save game jingles to my coffee maker timer. Now every time I replay those games I reach for a cup.
