If you want to be taken seriously in a work environment...you need a standard ring or beep, not a tune.
No sorry, everyone's allowed a bit of fun. Agreed, some ring tones, are just out and out annoying and inappropriate. A carefully selected ring tone does show personality and indeed that may well show your clients your not such an inflexible boring old codger. That might create a better impression on your client / colleagues, than picking a staid boring default.

What I find more annoying than the ring tone, is the inability to switch the phone off when your discussing things with others, having meetings, whatever. The "I must answer my phone, in preference to dealing with the perosn you are speaking to face to face" mentality is the rudest thing of all, and in my view totally unprofessional.
