The objective is to examine the elements that are mostly preferred during ringtone selection. For this purpose, a questionnaire was designed and sample size of 380 respondents (students) was selected from the University of Sargodha, Punjab, Pakistan by using simple random sampling technique. Bivariate analysis was used and the results conclude that the most frequently used elements during the ringtone selection are rhythm and tempo.
