Whistle sound for text
I set “chord” sound for the arrival of a text, but instead I get a shrill whistle. I have never had a whistle for anything. How can I fix this?

Hello salli176,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities. It's my understanding that there's a whistle sound for your text instead of the Chord tone that was chosen. I'm happy to help.
If you haven't already, restart your device. Restarting can resolve many unexpected behaviors.
Restart your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
If the issue persists, reinstall iOS with iTunes. This step can resolve possible software issues. When reinstalling iOS, iTunes will completely remove your current software and install a fresh version. While iTunes will try to do this without removing data, it's a good idea to make sure you have a recent backup before trying this step.
