The older versions of Outlook were hard coded to look to a wav file and looks like that practice is still ongoing.
Backup and replace this file with a sound you like named the same way.
C:\Windows\Media\Windows Notify Email.wav
It worked for my Windows 10 / 2016 setup. You'll have to take ownership and full control of the file to replace it as well.
See if the following can help, if you have not tried it yet.
