\Media\Audio\Alarms
\Media\Audio\Notifications
\Media\Audio\Ringtones

Now put you sound file into one of the above folders.

3. Now when you go and configure the ringtone for an event, missed calls, incoming messages or an alarms, the new sound will appears as an additional option to your default ringtones.

To set the new ringtone:

1. Go to settings.
2. Then select Sound.
3. Then select Notification ringtone.
