Can't change sound for calendar alerts

I recently updated to iOS 3.6.1; now my iPhone SE (older version) calendar alert sounds won’t change even when I select a new sound in the Settings/Sounds/Calendar Alerts. The new sound is displayed but the actual sound played is not what I chose.

I tried switching off calendar alerts and rebooting the phone but this didn't help.

iPhone SE, iOS 11

Hello there, robfromfrensham.

It sounds like you've been unable to change the calendar alert sounds since updating your device.

We do want to let you know that iOS 13.7 just released yesterday. So you may want to back up, then update to this version and try it again.

Be sure to also check, and adjust the sound in the following:

Settings > Notifications > Calendar > Upcoming Events
Settings > Notifications > Calendar > Invitations
Settings > Notifications > Calendar > Invitee Responses
Settings > Notifications > Calendar > Shared Calendar Changes
Settings > Notifications > Calendar > Siri Found in Apps

Cheers!
