I have the Pornhub jingle set as my rintone. I regularly hear "I know that sound where is it from?"

Tell them it's grindr next time.

grindr has a custom notification noise? isn't that indiscreet for an app like that?

[–] [email protected] 54 points 3 months ago (4 children)

Yeah I don't know any apps that have custom notifications out of the box these days, apart from Messenger. It's too convenient just to use the operating system's API and default to the user's default sound.

I don't know if there's some way to override/customise the notification sounds on Android on per-app basis. At one point in history I wanted Twitter to go [random bird noises] and Reddit to go "Le." but since I don't use either of them anymore I really didn't investigate this further.

In WhatsApp you can set custom notification sounds, I believe it even supports notification sounds on a per-contact basis. So safe to say you can do it as an app developer.

I think there is an option but it might be dependent on which company makes your phone.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 months ago

It's actually really easy for a developer and for a user. Apps can provide a notification sound for themselves, but the Android API automatically creates a user interface inside of the notifications settings that let a user set a sound of their choice on a per-notification-channel (for example, Discord has separate channels for "Incoming calls", "Direct messages", "Friend requests", and a heap more) basis.

Signal does, that dee-deep sound it makes.

[–] Ziglin 4 points 3 months ago (2 children)

When I installed it used the default. I'm on GrapheneOS, how about you?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 months ago (1 children)

On my Samsung Android phone it's configurable but I think when I installed the app aeons ago it used their distinctive ding. On desktop Linux incoming messages throw standard push notifications.

[–] Ziglin 3 points 3 months ago

I'm wondering whether it automatically copied using the default notification from my old phone then. I'm pretty sure I didn't change the Signal Notification sounds on my current phone.

[–] Stovetop 2 points 3 months ago

Mine also uses the default (for the very few times I've ever taken my phone off of vibrate). I'm just using an out-of-the-box Samsung.

Can confirm as well that my friends with iPhones also have the generic sound for their device for Signal.

Ebay still does the cash register noise when you sell something.

For me, it only ever made the normal plonk, nothing fancy and custom.

[–] [email protected] 70 points 3 months ago (2 children)

Post an audio file of the noise

It would be hilarious to build some little thing, basically a bluetooth speaker you could stick somewhere, to play stuff like that from under a table or behind a couch, from something like a phone speaker.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I'm sure I've seen something like this, like a Bluetooth noise box, powered by batteries..

[–] [email protected] 7 points 3 months ago

I wouldn't want to use one of those music listening type "sexy speakers" like what Dankpods has. Powa ahn. Blewtewth moad. Because it would sound too big and sharp, needs to be out of a tinny little 5mm driver.

[–] somtwo 10 points 3 months ago

I showed my partner this post and he let out a genuine belly laugh. Well done!

[–] [email protected] 9 points 3 months ago

On one hand, I'm glad I don't have too many really bigoted relatives. On the other hand, this would be so fucking funny.
