My iTunes Doesn't Have a Ringtones Icon
Apple’s iTunes application enables you to listen to ringtones before you copy them to your iPhone, as well as listen to copies of ringtones that you downloaded directly to your iPhone and then backed up on your computer. If you don’t see a ringtones icon in the iTunes application on your computer, you will need to change the preferences settings.
