Change The Trash Sound In Mac OS X
May 5th, 2005

Stretch tossed the following question to the Users Forum...

I want to change the sound that the Trash makes when you put stuff in it. I've been looking for where the file is, but have yet to find it, does anybody know where it is, or where I could look to find it? In case you don't know what sound I'm talking about, it's the one that sounds like a paper ball getting thrown into a wastebasket, when you put stuff into the Trash.

With a little detective work and the assistance of Unsanity's Xsounds Stretch was able to locate the sound file in Mac OS 10.3.9 and replace with something a little more personal; Strongbad saying "Deleted!"

/System/Library/Components/CoreAudio.component/Contents/Resources/SystemSounds/Dock/drag to trash.aif



Nice work Stretch!
