Mobile Phone text message sounds

I have recently purchased a new phone which allows custom sounds for when I have received a text message. I have been looking for some geeky noises to fill this current void. Presently I have a really crappy WOTW death horn sound, but I am sure there are people here who could provide me with better sounds. ;)

Sound needs to be a max. of 8 seconds long.

Use one of Chewbacca's crowls from the movies.

Personally, I use the murloc's growl from warcraft.

The Universal Telephone Ring, heard in virtually every television show made by Universal Studios in the 1970s and 80s.

Five seconds in length, although the primary ring stops at about three seconds.

Wouldn't that be more appropriate for an actual phone call?

I use the Legend of Zelda "secret found" sound. I got a MIDI for it from VGMusic.com. Another possibility could be the "item found" sound.

Other game ideas I can think of are the Super Mario Bros "level clear" track, Metroid's game start effect, or the very start of battle or start of victory sounds in Final Fantasy.

For Star Wars, Darth Vader breathing or R2-D2 could be good.

For Babylon 5, I get the feeling a Kosh quote would be good, though the best I can think of right now is "And so it begins."

It's a shame that I can't find any SW or B5 sites that host mounds of .wav files ... I seem to remember a B5 site that had loads on ages ago, but I guess it just died of disuse. :(

Down Below Sound Archive for Babylon 5 is still alive.

Geeze, I totally forgot about the most obvious choice:

The incoming codec transmission sound from Metal Gear Solid. :)

At the moment I'm using the quote in my sig as my message sound.
