How to choose the right tone?

The tens of thousands of unique downloadable ringtones currently available can be categorized into three types: monophonic, polyphonic, and real tones. Familiarizing yourself with these types will make it easier for you to download the right tones for your cell phone, saving you the cost and hassle of downloading a tone that sounds nothing like what you expected.

Monophonic Ringtones

Monophonic tones sound like the beeping of a computer and they produce only one sound (beep) at a time. The tune of the ringtone is made up of a series of sequential beeps at varying frequencies. Most older cell phones are only able to play monophonic ringtones.

Polyphonic Ringtones

Unlike the monophonic tones which can only play one note at a time, polyphonic ringtones can play up to 40 notes at the same time. This helps to create much richer harmonies and melodies, and sound more like the music we have come to know and love. Polyphonic tones, however, lack the ability to use digitalized audio samples.

Realtones & Mp3 Ringtones

Real tones take sound one step further by providing the user with actual music, voices, and real-life sounds. Real tones, or “true tones,” play MP3s and other fully digitalized audio samples. Just about any song, famous movie quote, TV show tune, and movie soundtrack can be heard coming from most cell phones today. Of late, real tones can be customized so that you can hear your own voice atop your favorite pop music. This newest technology in ringtones, called “singtones,” allows users to purchase a song online, listen to the track, sing the lyrics in the phone, and instantly receive a karaoke-version ringtone.
