Are you tired of waking up to the same boring alarm sound on your iPhone? You can change things up by making a custom alarm sound. Here’s how.
Step 1: Find the Sound You Want
The first step is to find a sound that you want to use for your alarm. This can be anything from a song to a sound effect. You can use a sound that’s already on your iPhone or download one from a website like Zedge or MyTinyPhone.

- The converted file will appear in your iTunes library.
- Right-click on the converted file and select “Show in Finder” (Mac) or “Show in Windows Explorer” (Windows).
- Change the file extension from “.m4a” to “.m4r”.
Step 3: Add the Ringtone to Your iPhone
Now that you have your custom alarm sound in ringtone format, you need to add it to your iPhone. Here’s how:
- Connect your iPhone to your computer using a USB cable.
- Open iTunes and select your iPhone.
- Click on the “Tones” tab.
- Drag and drop your custom alarm sound into the iTunes window.
- Select your iPhone and click on the “Sync” button to transfer the ringtone to your iPhone.
Step 4: Set Your Custom Alarm Sound
