I use a lot of timers. my phone is always going off with some alarm I set for myself. I guess trying to create order and discipline from chaos.
I’ve used the Chimes sound on the iPhone for a long time. maybe years. it was the least offensive to me. the least startling. I’m easily startled.
I cannot listen to Chimes anymore. makes me want to throw my phone across the room. even if it’s a gentle sound. makes my blood boil. even if I set the alarm.
i couldn’t take it anymore so I wanted to see what else was available. seems there are some new sounds. they all have very poetic names, like kettle, journey, canopy, scavenger, shelter, seedling.
I chose Canopy.
we’ll see how long it lasts.
