They also were able to extract several never-before-heard sounds from the software, which was presumably prematurely released by Apple. (Or not — as of the time of publishing it was still available to download from Apple's servers.) Avery Magnotti discovered the sounds, which include an alarm and several system sounds, are generally soft, and would sound great as a ringtone on your iPhone.  Take a listen: SEE ALSO: Everything we know about the iPhone 8   Share the latest business news with your network:    Email sent to:   |   Manage your email preferences   |   Unsubscribe Terms of Service   |   Privacy Policy Business Insider. 150 Fifth Avenue, New York, NY 10011
