If your iPhone’s<\/a> ringtone is hard to make out in public, or you’re simply tired of what’s available, here’s how to personalize your mobile device with a custom ringtone. <\/p>\n

\n

Apple has a wide array of default ringtones included in the iPhone. With a few taps, anyone can change the ringtone from the default to one of many alternatives. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

If what is included in iOS<\/a> doesn’t work for you, there’s also a sea of ringtones available to buy from the iTunes<\/a> Store. With a wealth of sounds available, you could easily acquire part of a favorite song to hear whenever your phone starts ringing. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Not everyone wants to spend money on a ringtone, though. Furthermore, not everyone wants to use the same snippet of a popular song if others are doing the same thing. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

One option is to create your own ringtone. A unique signal that is personal just to you and your devices. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Here’s how you can put your audio masterpiece as your alert sound on your iPhone. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Method 1: Wired Syncing<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n
\n

There are a few steps to creating the ringtone, and the first is to make the actual ringtone itself. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

You can do this in a few ways, such as by clipping down a DRM-free MP3 or creating something entirely from scratch. On Mac, your best bet for doing either is via GarageBand. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\"Make<\/a>\n<\/div>\n

Make sure to export the file from GarageBand as an AAC, before renaming it to an m4r file. <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

In GarageBand for macOS, create a new project. You will have to play around with the various settings and instruments to create a track to your liking, but make sure it is reasonably brief, such as 30 seconds or less. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

If you have a non-DRM MP3 file that you want to trim, you can import it to GarageBand and cut it down to just the chunk of audio you need. Alternately, you could slap some of Apple’s loops together to make a suitable composition. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

You will need to drag and drop the ringtone file onto this iPhone screen in Finder to send it from your Mac to the iPhone. <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
