The settings are found under Start>Settings>Sounds & Notifications.
If you are asking how to set a custom alert (a sound file that you added to your device), the file has to be put in the Windows Folder in order for it to be available under Sounds & Notifications to set as the SMS alert. Keep in mind that the whole file will play when you get a new SMS and you cannot stop it. Choose a small file.

If I'm not mistaken, ring tones can be MP3 files, but other notification files must be in the WAV format.

And they should be dropped in the \windows directory. Trust me, I have several sound files and use them for my voice mail and text message notification. Don't put them in any other folder, or they won't show up in your list. Use a low bitrate when converting the file or the file will be too big and they will be a slight delay.

Ring tones go in the \windows\ring folder and can be WAV, MP3, or MID formats.

All of my ringers are in the root of my storage card and they show up in the list and play just fine. All mp3s.

Mine sometimes show up that way depending on he rom I am using. To be safe, copy them to windows/rings folder. And you can use mp3 files as notifications...

I drop my ringtones in windows\rings and other alerts I drop right in the windows directory.. All mp3's. Usually I make ringtones at about 40sec. and txt\email alerts about 20sec.

Either use the Mp3 Trimmer that came with the diamond or sometimes I use mp3trim on my pc if I want to fade the ringtone in\out.

mostly all the notifications can use .mp3 now. alarms still need to be in the /windows folder in .wav format though
