The Best “You Have Mail” Tone. Ever.

September 26th, 2008

If you are anything like me [you'd want to be], then you probably get irritated by the default alert tones that come with computer software these days. [This will probably make your head explode.]

Well, you can quite easily disable most of these tones and never know the difference but there is one tone that is an absolute essential in my mind. That tone is the new email alert.

Depending on what email client you use you might have a ding, beep, “You have mail” or something equally annoying. I pity you because, you see, I have the best email tone ever. I’ve used for a couple of years now and it never gets old.

Well come on then, tell me what it is.

It is Carl Carlson, of The Simpsons fame, questioning “Didn’t you get the email?”

Carl Carlson -

I can’t find where I originally got it from so I have uploaded it here. Go on download it, it is good.

In my mind, it is the undisputed best ever email tone but if you think otherwise then I’d love to know what you think.

Do you use any customised event sounds on your computer?
