Here is my little manual, which I found somewhere in the internet, to make your own sms tones. All you need is you own iPhone, some nice music/effects/anything other and iTunes!

1. Choose a favorite MP3 files and cut (with IRinger, itunes it self, or Windows Movie Maker) out some seconds (2-3 seconds should be enough)
2. Now import this MP3 in your iTunes and convert it to a AIFF file
3. Copy this new created AIFF file on your desktop
If you don’t find this file, look at the properties of the file in iTunes – there should be the path where it’s located on your harddrive.
4. Now change the ending *.aif in *.caf
5. Now connect via SCP on your iPhone (Mac: Cyberduck, Win: WinSCP)
6. Go to “/System/Library/Audio/UISounds”
7. Here you can change one or all of the default sms tones.
But create first a backup of the file which you’ll replace! e.g. rename “sms-received6.caf” in “sms-received_6.caf” and then copy your new file to “sms-received_6.caf”.

And here is which file corresponds to which name: copyright by transfer SMS for iphone

sms-received1.caf -> Tri-tone
sms-received2.caf -> Chime
sms-received3.caf -> Glass
sms-received4.caf -> Horn
sms-received5.caf -> Bell
sms-received6.caf -> Electronic

this is a good guide but in my opinion to complicated the way i usually put custom ringtones or text and message tones in my iphone is using itunes for text i just get a 2-3 second sample of anything add it to itunes, convert it to acc delete the mp3 version copy the newly created acc version to my desktop now if you notice the last part of the file name .m4a change the a to an r so it reads xxxxxx.m4r delete the acc version from itunes then add the file you just renamed to .m4r sync and presto yes it shows up as a ringtone but ringtones can be used as text tones, message tones ect same applies to actual ringtones the only difference is ringtones can 30-40 seconds long where as text tones are usually 2-3 seconds long also no jailbreak required for this to work
