As a sound editor, I always found it frustrating when cutting cellphone ringtones and beeps for movies or TV shows. Firstly, we are unable to use copyrighted tunes, often leading us to resort to old 90s cellphone ringtones. Secondly, the challenge lies in ensuring that the beeps and ringtones are not overly intrusive while still being easily recognizable.
To address these issues, I developed the “Telephones and Computers Survival Toolkit” sound effects library. This comprehensive collection includes 1221 sound effects, encompassing mouse clicks and movements, USB drive insert/eject sounds, power-up chords, old-school beeps, animation sounds, cellphone ringtones, cellphone beeps, haptics, etc. Additionally, some cellphone ringtones are organized in patterns, allowing users to mix pattern “stems” and create new variations of ringtones.
All sound effects are provided at 48kHz/24-bit, in raw or “full bandwidth” format. This enables users to modify the sounds using their preferred plugins.
Regarding the provided demo files on SoundCloud:
The sound effects have intentionally been altered to give listeners a realistic sense of how they would sound in a real-life situation.
