Samsung: Change the Clock App Timer Sound

If the timer on your Samsung phone always plays the same tone, no matter which alarm or reminder you set, the Clock app is likely still using its default Timer sound. You can swap it for another preset tone or a custom sound file, but the option sits inside a separate sound menu that many people never open.

Change Timer Sound auf Samsung

The Timer sound on Samsung phones is controlled separately from your ringtone and notification sound. It sits inside the Clock app itself, not in the general system sound settings, which is why many users cannot find it at first.

This setting only affects the tone that plays when a timer you started reaches zero. It does not change alarm tones or notification sounds for other apps.

Menu path to change the Timer sound

Open the setting with this path:

Tap on ClockOpen the MenuTap on SettingsTap on SoundSet a Timer sound

From the sound list you can pick one of the built-in tones or select a custom audio file stored on the device. The change applies to every timer you start afterward, until you pick a different tone again.

If the timer stays silent even after changing the tone, check that media volume is turned up and that Do Not Disturb is not muting app sounds. That is a separate volume issue, not a wrong tone selection.

Frequently asked questions

Yes. In Tap on Sound you can usually browse device storage and pick an audio file instead of one of the preset tones.
