A recently study commissioned by Vodafone<\/strong> has revealed some interesting\u00a0 trends in ringtone behaviours across different generations.<\/span><\/p>\n

When it comes to the volume at which people keep their phones. The study found that over a third of Baby Boomers always have their phones on max volume…whereas almost half of Gen Z and Gen Y say they do not need a ringtone because they spend so much time on their phones.<\/span><\/p>\n

When it comes to purchasing ringtones, it seems that the trend is not entirely dead. Despite the rise of default tones, some Gen Y users still enjoy buying and changing ringtones, with 21% saying they have purchased a ringtone in the last 12 months.<\/p>\n

Vodafone’s study findings expanded<\/strong>
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

Generation Boomer rings true as older Aussies are more likely to max the volume:
\n<\/b><\/span>Over a third of Boomers (34%) revealed they always have their phone on max volume while only 5% have it switched to silent all the time.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/u><\/u><\/p>\n

<\/u>Younger generations do not need a ringtone: <\/b><\/span>Almost half of Gen Z (46%) and Gen Y (45%) say they do not need a ringtone because they spend so much time on their phone, in comparison to just 7% of Baby Boomers.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/u><\/u><\/p>\n

<\/u>Millennials and Zers go mute when it comes to calls:
\n<\/span><\/b><\/span>36% of <\/b>Gen Z and 35% of Gen Y <\/span><\/span>confess they usually have their devices switched to silent, admitting they do so to avoid calls! <\/span>More than 2 in 5 (42%) Gen Z say no one calls anymore and that they communicate through messages, social media, and voice notes. While two thirds (66%) of Gen Z consider phone calls important, the majority (84%) consider text messages a more important way to communicate.<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/u><\/u><\/p>\n

<\/u>It turns out purchasing ringtones is not a thing of the past:
\n<\/span><\/b><\/span>Despite over half of Gen Y (58%) saying that they used to enjoy buying and changing ringtones back in the day, some are still choosing to change up their tones (55%). Three quarters of Aussies (75%) use default Apple\/Android tones, while 76% of Gen-Y stick to the built-in options. However, 24% of Gen Y download or purchase popular songs, TV\/Movies, or custom ringtones with 21% saying they have purchased a ringtone in the last 12 months.<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/u><\/u><\/p>\n

<\/u>These are some ringtones and sounds that will continue to exist until the end of time:
\n<\/span><\/b><\/span>No, <\/span>Crazy Frog<\/i><\/span><\/a> won\u2019t be ding ding dinging its way back into the charts anytime soon, and though it might be one of the most popular (39%) and annoying (49%) ringtones of all time, it’s no shock the original and simply unforgettable Nokia Ringtone<\/i> (that lives \u201crent free\u201d in our head), was voted most popular alongside the default iPhone Marimba<\/i> Ringtone <\/i>and just like the hum of the pesky flies, Mosquito Ringtone <\/i>the most annoying (71%). Ahead of May 4th<\/sup> (Star Wars Day) this weekend, 1 in 2 Gen X and Baby Boomers reported the <\/span>Star Wars Ringtone<\/i><\/span><\/a> was their most popular ringtone of all time, while only 2 in 5 Gen Z and Gen Y claimed the same.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
