Glad you found this, since my attempts to “record” silence on the phone for use as a ringtone weren’t great. Especially at night, the kind of static noise sounds like weird breathing or “it’s coming from inside the house” noises. u00a0:)

Cell phone. Every time we get a telemarketing call, we add that number to a contact called”spam”which has a custom ringtone. Our old phones didn’t have the option for silence as a ringtone choice, so I simply recorded 20 seconds of “static” (not really silence). It occurs to me that maybe phones that aren’t 3 years old have better ways to solve this problem, but it’s what we could do at the time with what we had.nnActually for home phone, we mostly don’t even have the ringer on. With Bell, we get email notification of messages. We only use it as an outgoing line. No one knows the number. (even I would have to look out up). We just needed something for house sitters, but when we go home, off it doesn’t affect our cable bundle, we may just cancel it if/when we stop traveling.
