  This is most definitely the weirdest post I have ever seen. Do tell your reasons for wanting such a sound.

  I'm a support person for the mining industry (when something breaks they need a software person to have fixed it yesterday...). No doubt other service techs can tell the same story..
  
  Each time my phone rings, it's probably someone with a problem, which means any planning I have done to that point has a better than average chance of being rendered useless.
  
  I can get told one thing at 9am, only be doing something completely different by 9:15...
  
  I actually want it as my ringtone.

  Wow, I've learned a new term. I had no idea what a "chocolate wheel" was until I Googled it. It's what I've always called a "wheel of fortune".

  Addendum 2: Is "chocolate wheel" a regionalism? I'd be interested in knowing who calls it that and where they're from.

  I've finally been able to 'teach' Phil something... So that's one point to me (and still several hundred to Phil).
  
  I've just always called then that (Australia, Sydney), I first heard it in my early school days (at a school fete) - I _think_ it came from England and their "county fairs".
  
  Thanks for the link....

  Oh.....when I heard "chocolate wheel" I pictured a water wheel only with chocolate syrup.
  
  I was wondering what one would sound like, and why you would be looking for the sound....

  Yes, A vision of Willy Wanka came to mind when I first read it.

  First result on Google after figuring out what it was...and it sounds perfect based on your description.
