Musically Integrating Ringtones to Reduce Disruptiveness

What is it about?

We developed a new way to blend phone ringtones with background music to make notifications less disruptive. This method matches the ringtone’s beat, key, and sound quality with the music you’re listening to. Our studies found that people prefer these music-integrated ringtones because they are less annoying while still catching their attention. This approach aims to improve the way we receive notifications by making them more pleasant and less intrusive.
