Honestly I hardly hear ring tones at all even more. Getting different styles of vibrations for different notifications is much better. More discrete, faster to determine the notification before you look at your phone, less jarring...I don't mind at all.

I did buy a ring tone one from the apple store or itunes, whatever it was. Immediately thought it was a waste of a dollar.

I've taken to just using the default ringtones available with whatever phone I buy. I set a few important contacts to have distinctive ring/message tones, and then forget about it. Five minutes of set-up, years of never caring about it again.

I used a novelty ringtone until I realized it was conditioning me to dislike the song it was based off of. It was also slightly embarrassing to have a novel ringtone when no one else had one.

I now realize the best ringtone is one that is nondescript and has no other associations.
