Custom Text Tones

I've been looking around for a while, and I haven't been able to find a way to add custom text tones. I know you can add custom ringtones.

Is it possible to add custom text tones?
 
You can do this with Textra.
But you can only assign unique tones of your choice within the textra app, and within each contacts message. Once done, all of your new texts from your contacts will have their own sound or tone.
 
If you want custom tones, add the sound files to your /sdcard/Notifications folder (as opposed to /sdcard/Ringtones, where user ringtones are stored). Confusingly "/sdcard" is not your sd card but your internal storage (there are several other ways of addressing that same storage volume).

Most third-party message apps allow you to use custom tones. I thought that the built-in Samsung one does too, but as I don't have a Samsung phone I can't confirm.
