The iPhone’s clock application can handle setting up multiple alarms, to ring at different times during the day. Within the app’s settings, you have the ability to choose what sound or ringtone is played when the alarm goes off. If you want to differentiate between alarms, here’s how to change alarm sound on iPhone devices.
