Hi
Actually, application default sounds are usually stored inside the
app bundle itself which, in reality, is just a folder containing all
the resources necessary to run the application. The sounds are
usually inside the Resources folder of the app in question. To adjust
a sound you can, if the application allows it, point it to a
different sound file in prefs... or if not, replace the existing ones
inside the .app folder itself. The sounds folder inside of my library
folders have always been empty except for what I've put in them, this
is the case on both my Macs.
So, the sound files are locateable, you just have to know where to look.
For example, if you go to mail.app, bring up the contextual menu and
select show package contents, you'll be inside the .app folder. If
you navigate to the Contents folder, then to the Resources folder,
there's the default new mail sound, going by the name New Mail.aiff,
along with a bunch of other files the app needs.

and my answer is that there must be something rong with your mac
because all
macs ship with sounds. This is what mail uses for instance when
you select
the new mail sound in mail prefs and the same with alerts under
sounds in
system prefs. I guess I could send you the .aiffs in a zip and
you could
put them in the sounds folder.

Thanks, my question is where are the sounds that Mail use and why
they
are not locatable?

Hello Shaun,
My Sounds folder is in my Library folder on my internal HD. It
contains a lot of .aiff files we've collected over the years. They
vary in size from 4 kb to almost 400 kb.
If your Sounds folder is empty, you can just put your own sounds
into it.
Cheers,
Anne
