I'm curious. Ringtones are easy to find and use, but a little less easy to find is sound effects for events on the phone.
E.G. New SMS, New E-Mail, calender Reminder, etc.
Anyone have any suggestions on a site with little advertisements or somewhere to find some good sounds for little alerts like this? I don't need some 50 CENT song playing when I get a new E-Mail, but something nice and quick and not too loud.
Anyone got any suggestions to find sound packs like this?

Hi guys,
I am fairly new to this forum and this is my first post and i would like to say a big hello to everyone.
I am outstanded by the amount of time and effort that has gone in to some of the development for the wm phones as i am a new user and have recently got a HTC touch diamond.
The problem that I have is that the standard alarm sounds are pretty pants to say the least and was wondering if anyone had any suggestions or could post some decent alarm sounds that i can wake up to.
Any help would be very much appreciated.
Thanks and keep up the good work.
Hi, get hold of a program called RJV ToneSetter and you can use any sound for your alarm. I usually have a music track and let it play all the way through 2 or 3 times before i stop it
Well, this is a complicated theme, as maybe you want a specific tone or music
I would recommend you to make your own with some music editor (Nero wave editor) so you can choos your music, then save it as WMA file and that´s it!
Hope it helps
.....i've tried Ringo, but i didnt like the fact that i couldn't set one default tone, and then a specific tone for certain contacts, it was too much hassle for me to do them one-by-one because of the amount of contacts in my phonebook.....
i tried PhoneAlarm, and i just couldnt get it to work, even though it has a Custom SMS/Email Alerts feature within the program...
...i tried SmileySMS, but it was very buggy and would not work properly for me, i only heard the custom tone instead of default MAYBE 60% of the time, and considering i probably use 500 texts a day, that's not a good number at all....
.....what else is there? ive heard some suggest MortRing, but i also hear that it can be very unreliable if u have a large amount of contacts in ur phone.....anything else im missing that i could try?
anything??
any for wm 6.5?
I also would find such a problem incredibly useful. I've tried Inboxtones with meh results. How is this not a highly sought after feature?
I too would like to use my custom SMS tones. I have made over the years over a 100 custom tones for my nokias and motorolas and I get a WinMo6.5 and I cannot set a custom tune?
If I cut my tunes into .wav files will that be enough or what?
I was not sure how or where to go with this question but you guys are the most knowledgable group of phone techy peeps that I know of so here I am, hoping you can point me in the right direction.
I have loads of reminders, some of them are appointments that I absolutely must keep and some that are just general daily type stuff that are not critical and often optional, but that I would still like to be reminded about. Because there are so many reminders, making an alarm for all of them is extremely annoying. BTW, I use Nudnik to make sure I don't miss a reminder, this is why it is so annoying.
So, what I am looking for is a way or app or even two separate apps that will allow me to have some reminders pop up on screen with lights and sirens blaring and other less important reminders just pop up, no noise, non obtrusive other than the fact that it appears as a pop up that I can then dismiss.
Any suggestions? BTW, thanks in advance

p,s, forgot to mention that I'm on a captivate using serendipity 6.4 with the stock google calendar by way of gemini calendar & gtasks for to do list management all on the pure calendar widget. Problem is me, I am great at ignoring widgets, especially because I like my home screen to be empty so I can enjoy the picture on it.
Is this just a stupid question that I should know the answer to or is there not currently anything on the market? I am just trying to figure it out, point me in the correct direction if there is already something I could be doing to accomplish this.
Thanks

As a big sci-fi fan I've always liked computers like HAL, mother, or the ones in the Trek ships.
I'm looking for a way to record customized audio files usable as notification sounds. Preferrably female voice. I'm thinking of text like 'Incoming text-message detected.' Or 'Facebook notification incoming' ... you know, the usual scifi computer banter. Maybe with a little added reverb or other sound effects.
I know of the at&t website with downloadable tts files, but I found the pronounciation somewhat... lacking.
Any ideas? Doest have to be an app. Any good (preferrably free) pnline or pffline method is welcome.

Maybe something like this will do?
Star Treck Message, Notificaiton Sounds, or Even Ringtones app.
or this?
Star Trek Sound Board
Yes I know that app. It's nice and all but it's too trek-specific and the spoken sounds cannot be customized. Text-to-speech would be better, but thanks for your reply...

While it isn't TTS, there are many SFX files on Zedge.net. I wanted the same thing, and found a lot of good stuff there, which will hold me over until one of the popular TTS engines supports those kind of effects.
Try a keyword search there, sort by rating/download, and you should find the good stuff right away. Straight mp3 download, no spyware. I use Tasker to really fine tune my notifications in combination with these audio samples, and am pretty happy with it.
U could try searching the web if there is some site that does this and then allows to download the sound file. I wouldn't know any app that does this.
Other than that I would also recommend zedge, even though it's not what ur looking for.

Well I've been working on it a bit. I downloaded custom-written tts lines from the at&t site and modified them in Reaper. But I'm having trouble finding the right volume/loudness/gain settings for the resulting wav files to come out clear on my n7000
But I'll be getting there....

I had this same idea a while back, so what I did was took tasker, a tts plugin for tasker and snagged a good tts voice off the market and did it all myself.
There is an app for that! It is Enhanced SMS & Caller ID
It reads your notifications aloud and allows you to append text to the beginning and end of notifications. You instead of just saying "John Smith" when you get a call you can have it say "Incoming voice communication from John Smith" or whatever you want. You can set specific messages for unknown numbers. It works for calls, sms, emails, calendar and google talk. You can even have it read the subject line or complete text of an email out loud. The app has tons of settings to customize. It is best if paired with a good tts like svox. I, for example, use svox Grace with the pitch as low as it will go for a cool evil robot sound. Really awesome app and well worth the price.
I've done all my notifications in Reaper now, but Tapatalk semms to not let me upload them for your appreciation...

Yeah try dirreent sound boards
Hello,
I hope maybe someone can point me to application I used to like a lot on my TicWAtch Pro. Feel the Wear is name of that app that used to bring lot's of great way of customizing sound notifications on my TW Pro.. But this app seems not to work on SG4 That smartwatch .
I'm astonished how poorly implemented SG4 is when gets into notification system. Notification sounds are very few to choose from and not easily distinguishable when in noisy environments. On top, I'd love to be able if not per user sound at least per app sound.. That said, I'd love to have different notification sound for email vs Google Messenger vs Facebook Messenger.. The same way we can do set different ringer tones based on contact let say on Samsung smartphones . At least it is option on my S22 Ultra. The thing is when wearing my SG4 I disabled notifications on my phone, the way I like, especially when at work.. Even more important being able to distinguish for instance 'by group level' who's reaching me - my house members (i.e. my family) or work coworkers.. nothing like this exist on SG4.. terrible design when gets to notification part, unfortunately.. I was hoping maybe some app similar to Feel the Wear exists in Google Store. Thank you in advance!
