Ringtones
A ringtone is an AAC audio file under 40 seconds with an extension of .m4r
.
Official and package-distributed ringtones are stored in the /Library/Ringtones folder, while ringtones synced from iTunes are located at ~/Media/iTunes_Control/Ringtones.
The "Marimba" ringtone is an exception: it is always located in the SpringBoard application bundle as /System/Library/CoreServices/SpringBoard.app/ring.m4r
.
Ringtones can be used as the alert sound for incoming phone calls, alarms or the countdown timer.
