Everyone knows that you can create an *.ogg file and name it the same as your POI name to associate a warning sound.
HOWEVER, there is a MUCH easier method and a simple way to reuse a sound file you created.
Follow these steps:
1) Create an *.ogg sound file (more details in STEP #5 on my website >>> HERE <<<)
2) If one doesn't exist, create a /sounds folder (all lower case) on the root of your TomTom
3) Copy the *.ogg file from step 1 into the /sounds folder
4) That's it!
To use this custom file, simply follow the normal steps for selecting an alert sound and this new file shows up as one of the selections!
FOR EXAMPLE:
* I created a file called "zoo.ogg"
* I select CHANGE PREFERENCES -> MANAGE POIS -> WARN WHEN NEAR POI -> ZOO -> 300 yards
* The following is the next screen that shows up with my new sound option:
