The best ring tone apps for Android

By

Your Android phone comes well stocked with a variety of ring tones you can use to alert you when a phone call comes in as well as specialized tones for notifications and warnings. You can customize those sounds by recording your own original ring tones — or purchase professionally produced third-party ones — with the help of dedicated ring tone apps. These apps let you record or cut to specific parts of your favorite music track or audio file. Scouring the web for the best ring tone can get exhausting, so we made it easier to find or create the exact sound you want to hear. Here’s our rundown of some of the best ring tone maker apps for Android.

If you have an iPhone, you can create original ring tones for it, too.

RSFX

RSFX — short for Ringtone Slicer FX — is an intuitive ring tone creator and audio editor that lets you both create custom ring tones and edit your favorite tunes for unique MP3 rings, alarms, and notification sounds. Effects include fade in or out for smooth melodies, volume adjustment for louder sounds, and EQ for bass and treble boost. Formats include MP3, WAV, and AMR. Zoom in on an audio file for your ring tone edit, tap the point where you want to start playback, and listen. The saved file shows up in the standard Android audio picker, available for all apps to pick a custom ring tone. The app is free and ad-free.
