Ever drop your mobile phone? Depending on the surface on which it falls it makes a variety of sounds, but if you install P.C.I.S. all that will change, for the better or worse, depending on your point of view.

Now instead of a sickening clatter, you get to choose your own P.C.I.S. (personalised cringe-making impact sound) In my case it has to be the dramatic sound of a smashing bottle, followed by a short period of silence then the wailing of a baby, (ie kerashhhh_ _ _ _wahhh) which is quelled as soon as you pick up and soothe the unfortunate instrument.

       I'm guessing it's impact-triggered, as opposed to inertially? My phone has an alarm that, when set, goes off if the phone moves a set distance, and the tone is selectable from any sound file saved to the phone. Another one is inertially triggered by sudden, sharp movement. If yours is impact triggered, then here's a [+].
