    Tock is definitely the keyboard note for SMS and Notes notepad. I am trying to find out what Tink is? Also, I've accidently overwritten both of these (Tink, Tock).. Is there anywhere to download the default .caf files?

    If you copy the files to your computer and play them in Quicktime, you can probably recognize most of them. For example alarm.caf is the alert I hear when a calendar item is coming up.
    Windows tool to edit .plist, .strings and .nib files: pledit.
    Or use a website that will convert the binary form to a readable format.
    On iPhone you can convert those files in a terminal with plutil (installed with Erica Utilities from Cydia), or edit them with iFile (from Cydia).

    That is true, but in my case, they've already been overwritten.. so I still don't know what the original sound was used for..

    i have an iTouch running 4.0. iphones and ipods get all of them, even tho ipod doesnt use half of them. i ssh'd them to my computer today and listened to them all. i still cant identify some of them. there are some new ones:

    begin_record.caf - my guess is for audio recording
    begin_video_record.caf - exact same as above, but for video i suppose
    ct-busy.caf - ?
    ct-call-waiting.caf - ?
    ct-congestion.caf - ?
    ct-error.caf - ?
    ct-keytone2.caf - ?
    ct-path-ack.caf - ?
    end_record.caf - different sound from start, but you get the point
    end_video_record.caf - see above
    jbl_ambiguous.caf - ?
    jbl_begin.caf - ?
    jbl_cancel.caf - ?
    jbl_confirm.caf - ?
    jbl_no_match.caf - ?
    shake.caf - ?
    sms-received1.caf - possibly the same thing as sms-received was, seeing as how that is gone now. it might also by the push notification sound (its the same as voicemail.caf)
    sms-received2.caf
    sms-received3.caf
    sms-received4.caf
    sms-received5.caf
    sms-received6.caf
    sq_alarm.caf - ?
    sq_beep-beep.caf - ?
    sq_lock.caf - ?
    sq_tock.caf - ?

    as for the old ones, first of all, i have a theory for the following
    long_low_short_high.caf
    middle_9_short_double_low.caf
    short_double_high.caf
    short_double_low.caf
    short_low_high.caf
    If you listen to them, and have ever used bluetooth headphones/headset, they seem similar somhow

    also, voicemail.caf and sms_received1.caf are 100% identical, and one of them has to also be the push notifications sound. anybody know which it is?
