I can’t change the tone of my alarm

ive tried everything from rebooting to buying Apple ringtone for my alarm but nothing works.


the ringtone on the alarm is set to one I purchased but what I get is always that horrid radar! I’ve even tried it on the sleep app and it’s like no other tone exists except that radar.

iPhone XS, iOS 14
