I always start in conf/vars.xml and if I don’t find the variable defined there, I continue to look elsewhere. In this case sounds_dir is defined as a pre-processor variable in vars.xml but can be overridden in a particular playback request if necessary. The command line switch mentioned by Steven provides another means to define it.

You can override it when freeswitch starts with the -sounds option.
