Where do I put a custom ringtone for Facetime? (macos Sierra) I like that Facetime Continuity allows my phone to ring on my computer. But it repeats the sound aggressively and it loops way too fast.. 

I created a quieter tone with eight seconds before it loops. But I can't figure out where to put it. 

Apparently in Yosemite you could unlock access to this folder and put it here: 


/System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/ToneLibrary.framework/Versions/A/Resources/Ringtones/


But I don't see any info on where to put it in Sierra. Any thoughts?
Overview

Here are the steps that worked for me:


Disable System Integrity Protection (see below for details).
Put your custom ringtone file in /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/ToneLibrary.framework/Versions/A/Resources/Ringtones/
Edit the system's property list of ringtones at /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/ToneKit.framework/Versions/A/Resources/TKRingtones.plist (see below for details).
Choose your custom ringtone in FaceTime preferences.
Re-enable System Integrity Protection (see below for details).


Enabling/Disabling System Integrity Protection

It looks like in macOS Sierra (actually starting from El Capitan), Apple has implemented a System Integrity Protection technology that restricts access to /System. In order to play around with custom ringtones, you would need to disable System Integrity Protection


  To enable or disable System Integrity Protection [...]
  
  
  Boot to Recovery OS by restarting your machine and holding down the
  Command and R keys at startup.
  Launch Terminal from the Utilities
  menu.
  Enter the following command: $ csrutil enable [or use the command $ csrutil disable to disable System Integrity Protection]
  
  
  After enabling or disabling System Integrity Protection on a machine,
  a reboot is required.

Editing TKRingtones.plist

In order to make your custom ringtone show up in the list of ringtones in FaceTime preferences, you will need to edit the file /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/ToneKit.framework/Versions/A/Resources/TKRingtones.plist using TextEdit (or some other text editor -- you can also use Xcode's developer tools for a nicer interface). Specifically, add &lt;string&gt;system:Custom Ringtone Name&lt;/string&gt; at the location shown below (you should replace "Custom Ringtone Name" with the name of your ringtone file).

&lt;?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?&gt;
&lt;!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd"&gt;
&lt;plist version="1.0"&gt;
&lt;dict&gt;
    // lots of stuff omitted here
    &lt;key&gt;modern&lt;/key&gt;
    &lt;array&gt;
        &lt;string&gt;&amp;lt;default&amp;gt;&lt;/string&gt;
        &lt;string&gt;system:Custom Ringtone Name&lt;/string&gt;
        &lt;string&gt;system:Apex&lt;/string&gt;
        &lt;string&gt;system:Beacon&lt;/string&gt;
        &lt;string&gt;system:Bulletin&lt;/string&gt;
        // lots of stuff omitted here
    &lt;/array&gt;
    &lt;key&gt;sort&lt;/key&gt;
    &lt;true/&gt;
&lt;/dict&gt;
&lt;/plist&gt;
