Hey! Wanna hear the most annoying sound in the world?
Actually that’s wrong. That’s not the most annoying sound in the world. This is:
Apple is so very evil for making “radar” the default alarm ringtone, a sound so incredibly anxiety-inducing I’m getting the shakes just thinking about it, especially when you consider that there’s a perfectly good, perfectly melodic and perfectly vibe-y sound that’s been around for 54 years that could be used instead.
Vibe check, Apple.
