The present invention relates to an apparatus and method for generating a reproducible audio sequence, for instance a ringtone for a mobile telephone, wherein the apparatus receives and decodes a signal in which at least one sequence of symbols is encoded (for instance the telephone number of the calling person); wherein a plurality of reproducible audio elements (for instance small melodies) have been stored in advance; associates one of the reproducible audio elements with at least one first symbol value (e.g. 0...9 in a digit of the telephone number); chosing the audio element using music harmony rules, on the basis of said first symbol and on the basis of at least one other symbol in the sequence; concatenates the audio elements thus associated to form an audio sequence; outputs and reproduce the audio sequence. By using an oversized set of predefined audio elements, the set of audio sequences can correspond uniquely to the set of sequences of symbols. The result achieved by the present invention is to provide a harmonious ringtone that differentiates among calling numbers. Additionally, audio elements representative of the mobile subscription identification number, or representative of a distinction between telephone call and SMS or calendar event, may also be added as a preamble to the audio sequence.
