Sounds a bit like this though as my aunt has recently been to an antiques shop and bought an oldskool rotary and hooked it up, I may record the sound THAT makes - because none of the default "bell ring" tones do it UK style (ring-ring.... ring-ring) rather than US/European (Riiiiiiiiiiing.... Riiiiiiiiiiing....) and the classic style is becoming slightly too common. There's like two other people in my office alone using it.
May actually have to start making my own ringtones again. Used to do it quite a lot but I receive precious few actual calls these days, and going through the whole process is too much bother for 20-ish seconds of muzak that I might hear a couple times a day on average - and will never hear in full unless I'm intentionally leaving it to go to answerphone without the obvious truncated ring that telegraphs to the caller that I've hit "divert" on purpose.
Funny really, given how much time I used to sink into figuring out how to cram certain favourite melodies into the space and tone range allowed by the old Nokia Composer (remember that?). Maybe because it's just not special any more. Having something unique like a pitch perfect rendition of Billie Jean, Engel, Du Hast, Good Times or Brief History Of Time coming out in blaring squarewave was a touch unusual, a bit exciting when most people could only have ble-lee-lee-lee-leep, or the nokia melody, or one of a few other preset bits of awfulness. Now I just drop the MP3 on the phone, maybe define a position to play from (or spend some time carefully chopping it up in a wave editor then save a custom version), and the actual song is there in all its glory. But everyone can do it. And so it gets boring and annoying. Just make it blare like a telephone, please, and save the music for when i'm using it as a personal stereo.
EDIT: I wonder ... i'm pretty sure I have all those old composer riffs saved somewhere, after transferring them through upgrade after upgrade until I had a phone that could interface with the PC. Can Androids play Nokia Composer files?

Mine is the noise that Solid Snake's codec makes when he gets a call from the Metal Gear Solid series. I love answering with "Colonel!?"
Default rings are just some manner of standard beepy-thing. For everybody I give a hoot to hear from I have separate tones.
My beau gets Lifehouse "Hanging by a Moment".
Student Loan office gets Lily Allen "Fuck You"
You get the general idea...

My ringtone is the stage select screen from Mega Man 2
My text message sound is the Metal Gear Solid codec ring.
My ring is Atlas from Bioshock saying, "Would you kindly pick up that shortwave radio?"
Then for texts, the "WAWAWAWAWAWA!" sound that the turrets from Portal make when they are tipped :3
