You can get all sound files by simply checking the extension of file. Below I have given the example for mp3 files. If you want to also search for another extension then simply add one more extension in the "OR" condition:

  1. Find the resourcePath i.e. directory, because all sound files are resources
  2. Get the list of all files in that directory

  3. Now search for a specific extension in that list

    NSString *bundlePath = [[NSBundle mainBundle] resourcePath];
NSFileManager *filemgr = [[NSFileManager alloc] init];

NSArray *allFiles = [filemgr contentsOfDirectoryAtPath:bundlePath error:NULL];
for (NSString *fileName in allFiles)
{
    if ([[fileName pathExtension] isEqualToString:@"mp3"])
    {
        NSString *fullFilePath = [bundlePath stringByAppendingPathComponent:fileName];
//do whatever you want to do with the path
    }
}

If you are looking for Sound files within your app, Ravindra has already answered it.

If you are looking for Sound files from all other Music Apps in the iPhone, I doubt if you can access them.

You can however access the Songs from the users iTunes Music Library. You will need to use the MPMediaPickerController.
