Get the sound “alarm” back on all categories

I have used the sound “alarm” for my reminders & calendar alerts

because there is not another sound that penetrates the hyper focus when I’m working. I’ve tried all the sounds but nothing got me out of it like the sound “alarm”

Since they removed it I have missed appointments and forgot things I had to do


I have ADHD and am either unfocused or hyper focussed. And to hear in either state the sound needs to break through that barrier.

“alarm” was the one sound that I would hear.


I found online lots of people complaining that it’s gone but no request to put it back. So my question is about finding enough people that support this that Apple may consider putting it back.


Now I read stories about people that were hard of hearing that stated that was the only sound they heard and about autistic people that informed it was the only sound that they could hear and break their concentration.


Are there more people out there that have the same experience?

maybe if we band together we can make a difference?


please vote for yourself to get noticed so all of us benefit.
