Documentation - Custom Sounds
One or more of the sound effects in DiagnosticPADD can be replaced with those of your choosing. Any sounds in wav, aiff, or caf format should work.
The sounds must have the name Beep1, Beep2, ... Beep7 and have the appropriate extension. (.wav, .aiff, .aif or .caf).
For example: Beep1.aiff
To use the custom sounds, you need to transfer them to DiagnosticPADD on the device, using the iTunes file sharing feature. (requires iTunes 9.1 or later and a device with iOS 3.2 or later)
You will also need to turn on the "Custom Sound Effects" option for DiagnosticPADD in the Settings app.
Where each sound plays
The functions of each sound are as follows:
- Beep1 - startup sound
- Beep2 - left side "mode" buttons
- Beep3 - top left button
- Beep4 - top right button
- Beep5 - bottom middle button
- Beep6 - data updates
- Beep7 - errors
Transferring custom sounds

Scroll to the bottom and find the "File Sharing" section
- Select DiagnosticPADD from the list of apps on the left of this section
