I'm sure that somebody has done this, but just figured it out so I thought I'd share it. So I open my audio file in Sound Studio (ctrl+click -> open with works best) then edited it so the file contained only the part i wanted. then i saved it to my desktop (doesnt matter what format). i just changed the extension to .m4r, dragged it to itunes, an synced my iphone. Have fun
Got a tip for us?

Create Free iPhone Ringtones

Very old but i have a better solution. Theres a program called iPhone Ringtone Maker that will save your ringtones anywhere on your computer. I made a folder for just ringtones. You pick any sound or song u want to make a ringtone out of and then drag the sliders to make the ringtone, you can then preview it and then create it. You can then name it whatever you like and then save them into a folder if you like. Afterwords you can then Send it to iTunes directly from within the program itself and it will sync it to your phone. Then theres a manage tab inside the program that has a list of all the ringtones you created with the program and with 1 click you can send them all to iTunes. It saves time having to rename it to ".m4r" then drag back into iTunes and then sync. It can make more ringtones with this program in the same time it would take to make 1 ringtone for iTunes. Plus it has Fade In and Fade Out and Volume Boosting
You can do it in iTunes.
take original song and go "get info" and take out a 20 second segment you want
convert selection to AAC
go "show file"
change the extension to m4r
drag and drop onto iPhone in iTunes.
