While there are plenty of options to choose from in the list above, the developer has built-in the ability to import your own sounds in case any of those provided don’t tickle your fancy. To do this, you will need to replace the custom file in /var/jb/Library/Sounds/ on rootless devices or in /Library/Sounds/ on rootful devices with the sound file of your choosing. The same file name and file extension must be used for this to work.
If device sound customization sounds like a fun endeavor to you, then you can purchase the Hikari jailbreak tweak for $1.99 from the Havoc repository via your favorite package manager app. The tweak supports jailbroken iOS & iPadOS 14, 15, 16, and 17 devices.
