All of the sounds are in the /var/lib/asterisk/sounds directory.  You're
certainly welcome to re-record them as you see fit.  Note, however,
that every time you do a 'make install', the sounds will be overwritten.
I recommend that you store your sounds elsewhere and symlink them
into place.  I have the following patch for my Makefile to do this:

This would probably be functionality which hasn't yet been added.
