How Do I Choose Other Alarm Sounds On My iPhone 11?
You have multiple options if you want to set a custom alarm sound on your Apple iPhone. This can be done through Apple's pre-determined sounds, songs on your iPhone 11, or streaming a song from a music service.
You can follow these steps to change the alarm sound:
- Open the "Clock" app on your iPhone 11.
- Tap the "Alarm" tab at the bottom of the screen.
- Tap "Edit" button at the top left.
- Press the specific alarm you want to change.
- Tap "Sound" button.
- From here, you can choose any of the iPhone's alarm sounds that come by default, or pick a custom song from the music on your phone or a service like Apple Music or Spotify.
- Once you have selected one, tap the back button.
- Now, press the "Save" button in the top-right corner.
Note that you can also set the vibration settings on this page too.
How To Change Wake-Up Alarm Sound From Clock App?
If you use the Bedtime feature on your iPhone 11 for your sleep scheduling, you can also change the Wake Up sound.
However, the steps here differ a little:
- Open the "Clock" app.
- Select "Alarm" tab.
- If the Bedtime feature is enabled and a wake-up time set, you should see a "Sleep | Wake Up" panel at the top of the screen. Tap "Change" beside it.
- Under the "Alarm Options" section, open "Sounds & Haptics".
- You can choose any sound that you find here, though note that you can only use one of Apple's preset choices. There's no full-fledged customization with the iPhone's alarm sound here.
- Press the "Back" button in the top left.
- Tap "Done" in the upper-right corner.
How To Change The Alarm Volume On iPhone 11?
If your alarm volume is too low and you've found yourself sleeping in unintentionally, you can increase the volume on your iPhone.
Follow these steps:
- Open "Settings".
- Select "Sound & Haptics".
- Drag the slider left and right as you please to set the loudness of the alarm clock.
The "Change with Buttons" option on this screen allows you to use the volume buttons of your iPhone to adjust the alarm tone volume.
How To Set A New Alarm From Alarm Tab?
If you don't want to change alarm sound alone, but want to make a completely fresh alarm, iOS makes it easy to set alarms on your iPhone.

- Open the alarm clock.
- Tap the Plus icon in the top right.
- Now, set the time, name, and new alarm sound using this menu. You can also change whether there's a snooze button, and how it repeats.
- Tap the "Save" button in the upper-right corner to finalize the alarm.
