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??

This is exactly what happened to me. Set a Siri alarm, and it was at a time I’ve never set before, and it sounded with a god-awful alarm tone.


so since I had to scroll to find it, and there were hundreds, I asked Siri to delete all alarms.


now all alarms go off with that awful alarm tone.


setting an alarm by “touch” correctly uses the last chosen sound. Siri always uses the “default” sound, but there is no way to change the default! (Anymore, I think in the last Siri used the same “default” as touch)

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