Can not find notification sound

[topdavis]

I have a Note8 and the audio notification sound is one I copied to it when I originally got the device. The OS has been upgraded multiple time since, but the audio notification has always stayed the one I copied to the device. Now I can not find the audio file in any search using My Files, ES explorer or Root Explorer. The filename no longer shows up in the list of names to replace it either. Whichever folder I placed this file in, there are a couple others in it as well and they don't show up in the any of my searches as well. However, the file I am looking for does trigger when it should, I just can't find its location. Can someone help me find my missing, but existing audio files?

Which areas have you checked? Usually those flies are found in either the internal memory of the phone which is /storage/emulated/0/media/audio and you'll see 3 folders which are contacts, notifications and ringtones and the other is on the sd card which is /storage/Your-USBs-Name and you'll see notifications and ringtones folders in the list check in those.

I don't have anything beyond storage/emulated...

I do have
/system/media/audio/notifications
/system/media/audio/pensounds
/system/media/audio/ringtones
/system/media/audio/ui

These all have .ogg files in them.

I have
/sdcard/Ringtones

The notification sound in WCWHTNEW.mp3 and my ringtone is nuance.mp3. I have used multiple programs to search for these files, which work, but nothing finds them but they must exist on the phone somewhere...

Not the system folder you need to tell root explorer to open the local storage tab by opening it then hitting the blue + circle and it'll give you a list select the local storage which is /storage/emulated/0

Looked in a Root Explorer

I don't have the media folder.

I don't have the media folder.

I guess they changed it in the updated version.. I would search in there and see if you can find anything.
