Things to Know While Changing the Alarm Sound

1. While changing it, make sure you save the changes because the sound won’t be changed if you don’t save them.
2. Always choose the alarm sound wisely and carefully because whenever the alarm rings, especially in the morning, make sure it is loud enough so you get up and turn it off.
3. Remember, while choosing a song as an alarm ringtone, trim or cut it down to the main or a louder part. Because when a user selects a song, the alarm only plays its tune.
4. Make sure that Android is not on Do not Disturb mode. When It’s On, then the alarm won’t ring.
