inaudible

There was a story some years ago, about school kids using a ring tone at a high frequency that teachers couldn't hear, but they could hear. Can we include this? Gah4 (talk) 07:03, 4 February 2024 (UTC)

If you can find a good reliable source for it, maybe. But those frequencies are used for a lot of reasons; back in my highschool high-pitched noise was used to annoy other kids. I'm surprised I can't find an article on this general thing... ~Maplestrip/Mable (chat) 08:46, 4 February 2024 (UTC)

Different ringtones for known callers

I have seen cases where people seem to have a ringtone for a specific person they know which is different from the normal ringtone, and that this can be done for any known caller (a different ringtone for each). I haven't found a good source yet but if there is one or more, it seems like a concept that should be in the article.

And I'm not certain of the terminology. It's not necessarily a ring. It can be any sound.— Vchimpanzee • talk • contributions • 22:02, 30 May 2024 (UTC)

Thank you. Sorry, what I am asking about is calls intended for the same person but coming from different callers. That article is about different rings intended for different people answering each call.— Vchimpanzee • talk • contributions • 17:13, 31 May 2024 (UTC)

Yamaha's MA-FM soundchip series are most likely not the origin of polyphonic ringtones on mobile phones

Sorry for the long title, i literally could not find any confirmation of this. I have my reasons for doubting the claim though. There are multiple sony and sagem handsets that use a weird soundchip that only does sine waves, but it's definately polyphonic. It also has adsr but apparently only on sony (this might indicate that the soundchips are different, they sound pretty similar though). There might even be the possibility that there's some random phone from 1997 that has software mixed polyphonic ringtones playing through the beeper idk (maybe this could be the way those phones generate their ringtones?). I have done reaserch so if you find anything don't go saying stuff like "it's the second result on google" because i literally couldn't find anything useful during multiple hours of searching across 2 days. Also, there's some misinformation about the nokia 3510 being the first phone with polyphonic ringtones, which it definately isn't, it isn't even the first nokia phone with them. I believe the reason for this is the poor wording of that phones wikipedia page, which i will also probably change. ¬¬TLDR¬¬, I wanted to find the first phone with polyphonic ringtones, ended up here and discovered what i believe to be false information and poor wording of another article causing more misinformation. I love chiptune and chiptune-related things, how could you tell? -xh-xe-xg- (talk) 11:00, 16 May 2026 (UTC)

Apparently japanese wikipedia has some information about this, i don't speak japanese, please help, the translator is miserable. -xh-xe-xg- (talk) 11:58, 16 May 2026 (UTC)
