I thought I already had mentioned an old idea of mine
(http://ole.tange.dk/projekter/kontroversielt/patent-ideer.html
2004-11-26): Vibrator ring tones, but I could not find it in the mail
archive. Vibrator ring tones are just like normal ring tones, but
buzzes the vibrator in different ways. I would assume it would be
possible to have the vibrator spin faster or slower and thereby
simulating a one voiced instrument.

In practice the vibrator ring tones will probably be less like music
and more like morse.

As Rob mentions it should be possible to configure different (vibrator
or normal) ring tones for different events.
