I don't know if this has been the case from the start, but I just recently realised that there are two sets of notification files for Hangouts.

Place 1: Android\media\com.google.android.talk\ in the folders Ringtones and Notifications
Place 2: in the folder Ringtones in main storage.

One of these sets is probably redundant, I think, but I don't really dare to test which one.

Thoughts?

I would uninstall both of them and Hangouts.

then, if you really think you need that app, reinstall it.
I don't use it, don't care for it.

I only have Hangouts installed once, and I use it regularly, so I prefer to keep it if at all possible.

I just want to know which set of sounds is the one used by Hangouts, so that I can delete the reduntent set.

Go for the 2nd one, but keep a backup (although you probably won't need it).

Without root, you probably won't be able to delete the first anyway.

I didn't even think about that (not being able to remove files in the /Android folder).

I deleted the files I could, and I reset the Hangouts sounds (turns out it was using the ones in the /Ringtones folder, but the other ones were of course still available, so no harm was done).
