There is a way to change the dialer sounds by registry tweaking. The problem is that the choosed sounds will only play as long as the original tones do, which is a little bit short for one two three etc.
But maybe you can create sounds one two etc. and shorten them with a sound file editor so they will play completely. It will surely sound like the Chipmonks :D :D :D

- Create your Chipmonks soundfiles (sorry for this :rolleyes: ) for all dial buttons (.wma will work, I don't know if other formats are possible) and save them on your device
- Goto HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Sounds\Dtmf# (Dtmf*, Dtmf1, Dtmf1, ...) with a registry editor
- For each one of the Dtmf's do this:

1. Rename Standard DWORD parameter Sound to Sound1
2. Create new String Parameter Sound
3. Assign the path of the new sound-file to this new parameter (for example /windows/one.wma)

Can't remember if a soft reset is needed after tweaking, you'll have to try.

Maybe you should try this for one dial button first and see if it fits your demands. If not:
You can change this back by removing the new Sound parameters and renaming Sound1 back to Sound.

I don't think this is a very useful mod because of the time restriction for the sounds. But decide yourself...
