Hi Epper,


There's currently not a way to change the sound associated with pinging your iPhone when using your Apple Watch. You can find more about the feature below and in the guide here: Find misplaced devices with Apple Watch - Apple Support


"Play a sound on your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, Mac, or Apple Watch

  1. Open the Find Devices app  on your Apple Watch, then tap a device.
  2. Tap Play Sound.
  • If the device is online: A sound starts after a short delay and gradually increases in volume, then plays for about two minutes. The device vibrates (if applicable). A Find My [device] alert appears on the device’s screen.
    • A confirmation email is also sent to your Apple ID email address.
    • If the device is offline: You see Sound Pending. The sound plays the next time the device connects to a Wi-Fi or cellular network."

Best.
