Sound theme should actually be __custom, and it get created in
~/.local/share/sounds/__custom (once you modify settings)

There you should find symlinks pointing the alert you selected.

test alert is actually set with:
canberra-gtk-play -i bell-window-system

its possible though the some apps are using a different sound for
alerts, what apps/alerts does this affect?

Title:
  Unable to set new alert sound default

Status in Ubuntu GNOME:
  New
Status in gnome-control-center package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  I am running Ubuntu Gnome 15.04 (with Gnome Shell) with Gnome 3.14.
  And I currently have the default alert sound "Drip", however I wanted
  to change to "Sonar", so I went into "Settings > Sound > Sound
  effects", and I tried just selecting the new sound I wanted and then
  closing the window. That did not work so I tried going back and
  doubling-clicking, right-clicking, etc... Nothing worked though...

  I then tried it the command-line way, so I ran:

      gsettings get org.gnome.desktop.sound theme-name

  Which outputted:

      'freedesktop'

  So I then ran:

      gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.sound theme-name 'sonar'

  And checked that:

      gsettings get org.gnome.desktop.sound theme-name

  Outputted:

      'Sonar'

  And it did, but still, no change, still the "Drip" sound...
