where are 'sounds' stored?

I downloaded some gears of war sounds off Cydia under themes (sounds), however i am unable to locate where they are stored on the phone? i have checked sounds under the settings tab but nothing is there apart from the default sounds that are shipped with the phone.

help?!

thanks!

They won't change the name of the default sounds as they appear in the SMS tones list (for example) - they will simply be used instead of the defaults when the particular sound theme is turned on in winterboard. If you have iPhonebrowser (or equivalent) you can browse to the Library/Themes folder and see what the theme includes - sounds will be in a folder called UIsounds I think (going from memory here as I'm at work at the moment).
