Hi Low_bel1931

Welcome to the Apple (user-to-user) Community.

It is the ringtone you set that rings, and you can change it if you want.

You might want to check that you are using a ringtone that you can hear ok.


how to change the sound that plays when you get a call.


Go to Settings > Sounds & Haptics.

Tap Ringtone

Tap a ringtone or alert tone to hear it and set it as the new sound.

(make sure it is not set to "None".)


More info. in Apple support's article:

Use tones and ringtones with your iPhone or iPad - Apple Support


NB: You can also set different ring tones for the people listed in your "Contacts" if you wish

_____________________________________________


Ringtones are generally under 30 secs so they don't use up the battery power.

If all of the ringtones supplied are not long enough for you:


You could add one you like to the list, for choosing.

Eg: Either purchase from iTunes, etc.


or create your own special ringtone


(eg: using "GarageBand" app +

All the best :-)
