Does anybody know how to change the tri tone sound at the end of an installation?

I want to replace it with this sound:

This isn't too hard to do.

NOTE: Always, always make a backup if you muck around inside an application bundle, just in case something goes wrong.

Open the Applications folder
Open the Utilities folder inside it
Find the Installer program
Control- (or right-) click it and choose Show Package Contents
Open the Contents folder
Open the Resources folder
In here is the sound file you need to replace. You'll need to make sure the original sound and the one you're replacing it with are in the same format, as well as have the same name.
To find which sound file is the right one, if there's more than one, just open the sound files in QuickTime Player and listen to them.

Installer isn't in Utilities, it's in /System/Library/CoreServices, and I can't find any sound files inside it.

I can't find the sound file anywhere.

Finally found it - took some searching.

Code:

/System/Library/Components/CoreAudio.component/Contents/Resources/SystemSounds/system/burn complete.aif

Cool! Thank you. I will convert this to aif and try replacing it as soon as my boss steps out.

Hahaha! It worked!

Here's the file in case anyone else wants it!
