CTIA – the Wireless Association is concerned enough by certain styles of ringtones that it is developing a rating system for them, although there doesn’t appear to be a way to enforce it. “Finding ring tones of a bed vigorously squeaking, carnal panting or even a person vomiting in a toilet – yes, it’s out there – is hardly a challenge as many of the more volatile ring tones are placed on the internet by teenagers.” Ringtones that resemble shotgun blasts are also cited as a problem, particularly when buying something in a convenience store.
