Good question. Ideally, there would be a way of selecting a system sound using AudioServices. However, the following statement from Apple's "System Sound Services Reference" suggests otherwise:

In Mac OS X, when a user has configured System Preferences to flash the screen for alerts, or if sound cannot be rendered, calling this function will result in the screen flashing. In Mac OS X, pass the constant kSystemSoundID_UserPreferredAlert to play the alert sound selected by the user in System Preferences. In iOS there is no preferred user alert sound.

Since it seems like the SDK has little to offer, you might wish to mimick the system sounds by using your own wav file. There is a nice library at the following link, perhaps it will have the sound you're looking for: http://sites.google.com/site/iphonesounds/iPhoneOriginalSystemSounds_WAV.zip

Good luck!
