Hi meghu256,

We appreciate you confirming those details! Does the same issue happen with any other songs you try? If so, is it possible that the Ring/Silent switch on the iPhone has been mistakenly set to Silent? Here's how to check:

If you hear no sound or distorted sound from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch speaker

If the switch is set to Ring, let's also check Settings > Sounds & Haptics > Ringer and Alerts, and make sure this volume level isn't all the way down.

Take care.

Hi meghu256,

Got it! If the alarm still isn't working after deleting it and creating a new one on the iPhone, we encourage you to contact our Apple Support advisors at Get Support so they can take a closer look.

Have a great day.

Hi meghu256,

Thanks for reaching out to us here in Apple Support Communities! We understand you have some questions about using a song for an alarm sound, and we can help. When selecting a song, it must be downloaded directly to the iPhone before it can be used with the alarm. This is because the alarm is unable to access songs that are streamed over the internet. Once the song is downloaded, you should be able to use it without issue using the steps below.

If you have any other questions, please let us know!

All the best.
