  4. Select Tools, then choose Options.
  5. Click Sounds.
  6. Click the button next to one of the Messenger actions (e.g., Contacts sign-in). A list of your existing sounds will open.
  7. Click the "Add" button to add a new sound.
  8. Open the folder or an individual sound file you downloaded.
  9. Select the sound, then click the "Done" button.
