I am sure this has been available during the first four seasons, but I spent about 10 minutes this morning looking for the ringtone they use at CTU headquarters in 24. I found quite a few, with varying levels of quality. This one is good. This one from Yahoo! Mobile UK is excellent. Here is a shitty version, just to give you an idea of what not to get.

Here is the 24 ticking clock, which could make for an excellent shutdown noise if your phone uses one. And the accompanying fast digit beeping which could be used during startup.

If you want to check it out on your own, use a combination of these keywords: CTU ringtone, Cisco IP ringtone 24, ringtones 24.

Also, I have no idea about the validity of these sites (for purchasing) or the compatibility of these sites with U.S. phones and services providers, so buyer beware. And keep in mind that the ringtone is going to sound better and louder from your computer speakers than it will on your phone.

In weird cell phone news, I found a site advertising on Gizmodo called Pherotones. The site claims that pherotones are "a ringtone secret that makes you irresistible to the opposite sex" and provides this warning: "Phertones have the ability to transform a friend into something more". As a safeguard to anyone who dares use this audio Sex Panther, the pherotones come in male and female versions so that you can be sure to attract only your intended targets.

Now all I need is the development of pherotone AIM sounds. Bangerang Pherotones.
