iOS 17 Classic/Legacy sounds were removed. Help?

Not entirely thrilled with new iOS 17.

Yes. some novel new features and functions. Mildly entertaining.

As usual, more new Notification sounds are introduced, and they aren't especially exceptional. Obviously and understandably, individual sound preferences are highly personal and subjective; and I definitely welcome more choices.

However, I'm really not pleased that Apple removed Classic/Legacy sounds. The Classic/Legacy iPhone notification sounds I've used for years and have grown accustomed to have been eliminated.


I/We buy Apple devices; I/We have had many models and set them up in ways that work for us. Apple please DON'T eliminate the features we enjoy. In particular, please do not Reduce our choices, or force us to only use certain sounds You choose.


*I'll try to fix it myself. I've created customized tones and ringtones using Music songs in GarageBand; but it's a little tedious, and takes time I'd rather devote to other things. Also, I don't even know whether we're able to customize System Sounds....


Any suggestions how to customize Notification Sounds for System would be appreciated. Thanks.
