How can I change the default alarm sound when I ask Siri to make an alarm for me?

Another user ID: hareza on 02/14/2023, asked a similar question and was answered that whatever sound she last set will be the default for the next time until she changes it. Not with my iPhone 12. When exploring my iPhone12 I came to a screen that offered me to change my default sound to whatever I want and foolishly

(I might have been drunk) chose the dog bark. So now when I ask Siri to set an alarm for me it is now always the dog bark. I regret this. How can I change my default alarm sound? Please.

iPhone 12, iOS 16

I have an iphone 14 pro max. And I am trying to change the DEFAULT sound on my alarm. The current default is “Radar”. I have a personal song I want to use as the default…PERMANENTLY. I am able to change the alarm to my song every time I set a new alarm. However, it defaults to “Radar”. I want it to default to my chosen song…and it won’t. If I leave that alarm on, my song stays. But I always need new alarms on differing days/times.

Is there a way (in settings) to permanently change the DEFAULT alarm to a personal song??

Does not even work when I set the alarm manually.

Doesn’t work when you try to set an alarm with Siri. Always defaults to radar. Only if you set it manually through the clock app will the default be what you set it too

Your suggestion doesn’t address the problem. We all know how to set a new alarm with a new tone. Your solution doesn’t reset the default. But you hanks for trying.

Actually Radar is my default when I set it manually and I'd like to have Radar as well when I set it by Siri, but Siri will only set the alarm tone to "None" as far as I can tell.

The_Farmer Once you set an alarm manually or with Siri, do a manual edit to set the tone. Be sure you hit save.

if your alarm is set for 8:00 AM, it will be saved when you shut it off. If you need an alarm to milk the cows at 3:00 PM tell Siri to turn on your 8:00 AM alarm. (“TURN ON” is the key to keep your chosen tone.)

Then tell Siri, “Change my 8:00 AM alarm to 3:00 PM.”

It's annoying because you need to remember when your alarms are set so you can move them. I hope Apple fires the dipstick who screwed this up.

After looking at this again it does pick up my last Sound if I set it manually. But I set it by Siri all the time and when I do this it doesn't pick up my standard alarm tone, it sets it to None??

This seems to only work if you are manually entering alarms.

If you tell Siri to create an alarm for you, it continues to use the radial sound effect.
