quiet ringtones

[Philipmom]

I like the default ringtones but some of them are a bit too low at max volume to hear across my apartment. Anyone have any apps to increase the volume of ringtones? I don't want to blow my speakers, I just need it a level or two louder. Thanks.

Ringtone Maker on the phone, or copy the ringtone to a PC, run Audacity on it (Audacity does a better job), then copy it back and choose the modified one (I usually add the word "Loud" in front of the name) as your ringtone.

You won't blow your speakers - the ringtone will get louder and louder until it starts distorting. From that point, the only thing you'll do is increase the amount of distortion. (Enough distortion will make the ringtone unrecognizable, but attention-getting.)

I'm looking myself as the ones supplied are way too low on my opinion. Haven't found what I'm looking for yet . I just want to download a few individual ones and don't want to have an entire app full of ringtones

I always use RCP Ringtones app. Has tons of ring tones, notification sounds, alarms, varying degrees of loudness. It's a few bucks but you will definitely find anything you want in there.

Anyone know how to assign a ringtone to a contact?

There's no field for that in the contact profile.

Thanks for this! Looks to be about what I'm looking for. Not concerned about the price as much as I am how large of an app this is space wise ! Might give it a go

Look at the App "Zedge"...has everything. Ringtones, notifications, alarms. Seems to be the "Android" app of choice. I've used it since I got my Pixel and it's great.

It's FREE

took me a while to find it... it's buried two menus deep. You have to "edit" the contact, then from the edit screen hit the three-dot menu in the top right to "set ringtone"

So I downloaded it checked out some tones and downloaded about 20. Deleted the app and the tones I selected were in the appropriate folders on my phone and they all come up. So I got what I needed and got rid of the app.

I don't know how I missed these before but on the past I looked at them and samples them from my desktop
This was much better . Thanks!

Does anybody know if you can make it so the contact has a ringtone and separate notification tone? As far as I can find it will only let you assign one tone to a contact

+1 on Audacity. I've used the piercing Pizzicato sound from the S2 for my work email notification sound for years, moving it from phone to phone, and was stunned to find its relative volume so low on my Pixel XL. Audacity > Effect > Amplify.

My $0.02 is on Ringdroid which I've used for just over seven years.

Been using Zedge since the Moto Droid X days....

I now like Zedge. I just wish there was away to delete some of the preinstalled ringtones without having to root a phone to do so. I think with all the tones included with the phone for all notifications there are maybe 3 at most that I like or would use
