My relationship with custom ringtones is rocky. Like 67 percent of geeksugar readers, I use them occasionally (mostly for humor purposes) but hearing catchy tunes coming from inside my coworker's purse can grind my gears. You can keep things contemporary and hip on the cheap with audiko, a free web service that will allow you to make ringtones out of any songs in your music library or download from its large collection of songs.

This is hilarious. In a recent presidential press conference, someone's cell phone started ringing, and it wasn't your standard "bring bring" but a duck quacking sound. Not even the president of the United States of America is impervious to annoying cell phone ringtones!

Oh Stephen, you never cease to amaze me with your geeky toys and Dance Dance Revolution Dance-Off competitions. I'm not surprised you've already scooped up a new black iPhone 3G, but you never told me you were such a Sex and the City fan?! I'm actually impressed you've pimped out your phone with such a signature ringtone.

The condition whereby you fly into a frenzy to find your ringing cell phone, only to find that it has not, in fact, been ringing at all; what you have heard is a phone with your former ringtone. Highly disconcerting.

With news that the EU is cracking down on sketchy cell phone companies that hawk cell phone wallpapers and ringtones, I realized I hadn't bought or used a custom (or any nonstandard) ringtone in years. I guess I feel like I've outgrown them, but on the other hand, I'm getting a little sick of the few preprogrammed options I have in my phone (and don't even get me started on how our whole office has the same standard BlackBerry ringtone. We've begun making up lyrics).

Although I've showed you several ways to make your own ringtones previously using some pretty cool applications, and you can make almost any song a ringtone in iTunes for a fee, why not use some of the music you already have and create custom ringtones on the fly? This is especially for you Mac users, since it uses the apps you already have stocked in your machine.
All you need is the latest version of Garageband (4.1.1), iTunes (7.5 or later), and some music, and you're good to go!

Imagine if we were able to analyze someone based on their ringtone? What would your ringtone say about you? Do you like a soft sounding melody?
