How to change alarm sound on iPhone 12

An alarm can easily go unnoticed on the iPhone because the default sound is too low to wake a person from a deep sleep. Though it entirely depends on person to person and their actual state of mind while they are sleeping. I personally prefer using a peppy song with a loud volume for all the important alarms. Thankfully, it is possible to change the alarm sound on the iPhone 11 and iPhone 12 to a new one of your choice.

That said, if you are new to iPhone then you may find it difficult to switch to a new alarm sound. That’s because the setting to change the alarm tone in iOS isn’t present anywhere in the Settings. On the other hand, the option to change the sounds for ringtone, text tone, mail, and alerts is found under Settings > Sounds & Haptics. Let’s now find out how you can set a custom alarm sound in iOS 13 and iOS 14.

It’s worth noting that the selected audio will be your default sound for the following alarms as well. This makes sense as you wouldn’t want to change the alarm sound every time. However, if you wish to set a different sound for a specific alarm then you need to choose it explicitly while setting a new alarm.
