Custom alarm sound on iPhone: how to use an MP3 as an alarm
The iPhone Clock app only lets you choose its own tones. With Alarma Voz you can set any audio as your alarm, and it rings even when your iPhone is on silent or locked.
Download the audio
Tap “Download MP3” on the phrase you want. Safari saves it to Files › Downloads.
Open it with Alarma Voz
In Files, touch and hold the audio, tap Share and choose Alarma Voz. It works with WhatsApp voice notes too.
Save it to “My audios”
Trim the start or end if you like and give it a name. It's stored in the app's Audios tab.
Pick it for your alarm
Create an alarm or a timer and, for the message, choose the audio from “My audios”. It will play at the exact time.
Alarm message generator
Pick a template, enter a name and a time, and hear how it would sound. If you like it, copy it and paste it into Alarma Voz, which will read it out loud. Or record it in your own voice right here and download the audio.
1. Write your message
The preview uses your browser's voices. In the app you choose the voice, the speed and how many times it repeats.
2. Or record it in your own voice
Read the message out loud and download it as an audio file. It's perfect for waking up your kids, reminding your parents to take their medication or planning a surprise.
60 seconds max. The audio isn't uploaded anywhere: it stays on your device.
Tips for a voice alarm that actually works
- Short and clear. Phrases of 3 to 8 seconds are understood right away, even when you're half asleep.
- Include a clear action. “Leave the house now” works better than “It's late.”
- Use a name. An alarm that says your name, or the name of whoever needs to wake up, grabs more attention.
- A familiar voice. Recording your voice for your kids or your parents makes them more likely to listen.
- Two levels. A gentle first alarm and a more energetic second one five minutes later.

Voice alarm sounds: frequently asked questions
Are these voice alarm sounds free?
Yes. You can listen to and download every audio on this page as an MP3, free and without signing up, to use as an alarm or timer sound on your iPhone.
How do I set an MP3 as my alarm sound on iPhone?
The iPhone Clock app won't let you use an MP3 as an alarm sound. Alarma Voz will: download the audio, open it from Files, tap Share and choose Alarma Voz. It's saved to “My audios” and you can pick it for any alarm or timer.
Can I make an alarm sound with my own voice?

What's the best phrase to wake up to?
