Does anyone know where the sound is located for the volume feedback sound when you hit the volume keys?

It's a little pop sound... I want to change it to something else but, I can't seem to find it anywhere on my system and I have no idea what it's called... Can anyone help me out?

You can't change it (just tried in System Preferences/Sound/Sound Effects). Maybe an edit in a plist somewhere would do the trick ?

Does Xounds work? If you are comfortable searching in root, you can find stuff. I changed the Trash emptying sound in Tiger to Strongbad saying "Deleted!"

Thanks guys for answering me... but, I checked back in this thread the other day and there were no replys. I then asked some other people who were on my iChat buddy list and one of them gave me the volume.aiff location like mentioned above. The question wasn't really mine though. Someone else wanted to know and I couldn't for the life of me find that sound... so again, thanks for the answers!

I usually just leave that sound off anyways.
