With this ringtone, I thee complete
The folks over at LifeClever have gone where I have not dared to tread. Last August, in a post about the iPone commercials’ soundtrack, I pointed out that the ringtone showcased in the ads is actually—horrors—not available on the iPhone. I went on to muse:
I guess if you really wanted it you could record it, convert it to MP3, and use iFuntastic to make it your ringtone. But that would be silly…right?
Silly for the likes of me perhaps, but those LifeClever people apparently don’t have the same reservations that a puny mortal like me might have. They’ve done it hunted down the file, which is a GarageBand sound effect, and made the result (download link) available for download.
Just double click the file and it’ll be added to your Ringtones tab in iTunes. Voilà—problem solved. Clever indeed.
Update: To clarify, as reader Branden reminds me, they took a more clever approach than what I suggested; presuming you’ve got GarageBand handy, you could do the same thing pretty easily. Still, I appreciate it when other people do the work, so I don’t have to.

You make it sound like they recorded it from the commercial, as you suggested. They didn't. They found the file in iLife. That and using GarageBand to make the ringtone are easily within the reach of a puny mortal.

So, I have downloaded this ringtone and while it appears in the Ringtone tab in iTunes, it does NOT show up in the list of possible ringtones I can sync to my phone (in the Ringtones tab when iPhone is selected).

Further to ringtone issue...
I thought, ok I will try iToner. I added the ringtone through iToner and while the ringtone now appears in my list on the phone, it is quiet (no sound)
