pre alarm tone plays before chosen alarm song starts

[bunnns]

I'm using the clock app that came with my android. all my alarms and timers play a loud tone when the alarm goes off, immediately before my chosen song plays. it's like a "bong bong bong bong" sound, then the chosen song starts. I have my alarms set to get gradually louder but it's useless when the loud bonging sound goes off first. I can't figure out how to get rid of it.

What phone do you have?

Never heard of anything like that happening before. It could be a feature added by the manufacturer of your particular Android phone or tablet.

That just sets up the alarm. how do you change the alarm sound? for me on my z fold 4, i can setup my alarm and then i can select the alarm sound i want. is the alarm sound toggled on or off?

oh sorry lol it's automatically set to these default settings. if I click on alarm sound then the next screen comes up and I click on ringtone and then have the option to choose a different alarm sound.

the default ringtone is just which ever one you chose most recently from previous alarms

Your device may be overriding anything you choose, which seems to be the problem. There may be no fix for this moving forward.

To remove the loud default alarm tone before your chosen song in the Android Clock app, open the Clock app, edit your alarm, and select "None" or "Silent" for the alarm tone. This will silence the default sound, allowing your chosen song to play without interruption.

hmm I'm not seeing a separate alarm tone from the ringtone. And when I click on ringtone there's no "silent" or "none" option. There's an option to turn on vibrate, as seen in the screenshots above
