You see, I thought we had all learned a lesson with the Crazy Frog and ringtones based entirely on repeating single-syllable words, but apparently not. BingTones are now invading public places around the world. In a bid to maintain social order, I come offering some ringtones from Windows 7.
As part of Windows 7′s new foundation for managing communication applications at a system level (for example, lowering the volume or muting your music when you receive a call on Skype), the operating system actually now ships with ten soundclips which can be used as ringtones, stored as WMA files under the “%ProgramData%\Microsoft\Windows\Ringtones” folder, for your personalization.
There is of course nothing stopping these ringtones from being also used on a mobile phone. As such, I’ve edited them a bit and converted them to compatible formats for your convenience. Enjoy.

As with any collection of ringtones, not all are of equal standards. Personally I find numero 2 the best, followed by 1 and 4. Number 10 just sounds like the end of a circus act.

They are funny. I didn’t know that Windows 7 ships with ringtones. Nice stuff.
Great!
I like these BingTones! I was expecting to find them in the BingTones official download pack but the tones weren’t, voices were. Did you check out the official BingTones by Microsoft?
Oh sry, I meant ringtones instead of BingTones the first time.
just for 1, 2 and 4. Thanks
1 and 2 are the best (not only compared to the lot).
i wish you would have used silverlight play buttons or flash ones.
I just tried to play them all at once by clicking them from this page. Sounds good together.
Number 8′s not bad
All Sucks…In my opinion, Windows 95 and Windows 98 startup sounds were far better. (no pun intended)
Where are the WMA formats? Why are they both in Apple loving yuppy format?
Oh forget that, they were awful, let the Apple yuppies have em!
Wow Microsoft is losing class daily.
Thanks for FIX IE 8
Thanks. I agree with you and go with number 2 followed by number 1.
i think they are included in the windows live custom sign in tones or what ever the heck they call it
I kinda agree with you. The best one in my opinion is number 1, followed by number 4 and 2.
Ringtone01 is the best.
My second choice: ringtone04
these sounds are really amusing and pleasant
Nice collection..but barely someone known about it..thanks,..
very nice, but the log in tone ist missing
No.10 Ringtone is best for me — 5 Stars *****
do you have the audio for the orignal sdk they were the best ringtones I have ever heard. these are ok
I felt that 2 was okay, but, nothing lives up to the standards of iPhone’s default tune (I am NOT an apple fanboy).
