Tim and anyone else that’s interested in trying, What about putting the tones in to a folder in iCloud and then trying to add them that way to your phone or iPad etc.
I’ve not tried it myself but it works with documents in some cases why not other file types.

Supposedly it works. So, I migrated my tones I use on my iPad and iPhone over to the Mac and placed them into the specific location where the Mac grabs these sound files from when making Mail or Message alerts. You'll note that I'm being fairly vague in my description and this is purposeful. The specific location is deeper in the System and is not usually accessed by the day-to-day user. I can't remember for sure, but I may have even needed to disable System Integrity Protection to do it. After all this, it still didn't work. The tone choices did appear in Messages for me, but when I chose them, they did not play. I either got no sound at all, or it switched back to the default alert sound. Again, I'm not positive. I gave up for now. So, essentially, it's supposed to be possible, not for the faint of heart, and not necessarily a successful venture. Maybe I'll take a look at it again in Catalina in a bit, but wouldn't hold much stock in success. Later...

I don't know if they need to be a specific type or not. Traditionally, Mac system sounds were AIFF files, but I expect that the there is a bit more flexibility these days. -- The following information is important for all members of the Mac Visionaries list.
