If you do a  Search for poiloader sox.exe, there are numerous Topics on the subject. I'm sure one of them can point you in the right direction better than I can.

if you only want to be reminded once then single tone, otherwise continuous tone
mp3 format won't work on the garmin, so you must use the wav files |

I thought the rule of thumb was "if the Garmin has an mp3 player, then use the mp3 voice files. If not, use the .wavs"

most of the latest garmin devices do not support mp3 playback - so unless OP can advise which version they have I would still say not supported and must use wav files.
i got told originally that mp3 could be used on my 2390 but then got told later when queried couldn't get it working that audio must be in wav format |
