I am in loathing of the fact that there a bajillion different ring tones out there.
1% may be ironic (see: Rapper's Delight, ala MIDI mode), but 99% are digitally screeching covers of songs I never wanted to hear.
To make matters worse, the walls of my workplace are hard and painted white, putting even small noises within earshot of half the office. This is great for shoe-squeaks that sound like farts, but not so much for cell phones.

If you're not at your cubicle when your detestable ring goes off, it'll be loud and clear for a good minute. Luckily, the caller will keep trying to get in touch with you while you're away.
I bet you've become paranoid after that missed call you once had while standing next to a jackhammer, but now you've wised up! Your ring has been set at a level loud enough to overcome any noise that's capable of deafening a young child. Good thing you'll be around for it.
