Thanks in advance.

I don't understand your question.

We can write words, essays, novels, sentences, plays and articles.

I've heard of writing music but never writing sounds.

Hi AS,
Sorry I haven't expressed myself clearly. What I meant was onomatopoeia for phone sounds.

Are you referring to an onomatopoeia?

I would think simply ring would usually do the trick. Maybe brrring, brrring.

Thank you for your reply and corrections. I just can't do three things at the same time. If I do that's the result!Emotion: angry

That's OK! I'm not a great multi-tasker myself. Emotion: smile
