Hi, I'm making this thread since this topic is a bit overshadowed, I've tried to search many times on google/yandex/baidu if there's a way to edit the system sounds but didn't find anything before a member of a switch hb discord server (Anto) showed an old tool in action.
How to replace switch system sounds with citric composer :
First use the tool to dump your keys then use nxdumptool to dump the 01000000001000 folder (for the home menu applet, can also be the controller related sounds) with nxdumptool latest pre-release, open the main sound file (the biggest one from the sounds folder) in your dump (on the root of your sd card in the nxdumptool folder) export the first archive at the bottom of the dumped bfsar (it's the main one containing the sounds), use Retsuko sound Tool to extract the files from the archive, you'll now be able to scroll through the exported sounds, and to see their size, knowing that the edited files can't be bigger than the og ones, then follow this tutorial to convert your sounds :
After that just use Retsuko Sound Tool to inject the new bcwav in the archive (not the one you've dumped with nxdumptool but the one you've extracted), the map file is next to the wav files folder, edit it accordingly to your files.
To finish, open the dumped file again with citric composer, right click on the archive (in citric) and click on replace, select your modified archive, save, copy the content to atmosphere/contents/01000000001000 (still for the home menu) so it looks like that : romfs/sound
Boot and enjoy
TIP : You can export any wav straight from citric by opening the archive at the bottom of your dumped file and right clicking on any sound file + export then you'll be able to see the og non converted size of the wavs you want to replace
