I think your problem may lie with the path.
As I said you should not be using the /System folder but use instead
the /Library Folder which is at the root of you HD.
If you do decide to put things into the /System folder they will not
be transferred if you ever migrate or upgrade you system say to Snow
Leopard as they will be overwritten.
They will be found and moved if they are in the /Library or ~/Library
folders
Also note the path is case sensitive hence /Library/sounds and /
Library/sounds are not the same.
OS X is a case sensitive system and ad such most folder names and
system paths start with a capital letter. User created folders are the
exception of course.
so make sure the folder you created at /Library/Sounds and ~/Library/
Sounds are correctly named or they will be ignored.
that said can you play the wav file in quicktime player? or quicklook
it? if not then it may need the flip4mac plugin as well.
also have you tried a regular MP3 in the folders to validate that the
system is looking in there for sound files? make sure the file plays
in quicktime first
then past it into the ~/Library/Sounds folder.
You may need to logout then log back in for the system to see the
change but i dont think so.
then you can check if the sound is available under the System
Preferences -> Sound -> sound effects tab.
if all is well it should be listed in the table there and play when it
is selected. it will have the same filename.
