In edit mode, select the alarm whose sound you want to change. Then, tap the “Sound” option. Here, you’ll see a list of preset alarm tones. You can choose one of the built-in alarm tones, or if you want more personalized options, scroll to the bottom of the list and select “Classic” to access more traditional ringtones.
