The Android operating system has an application, android clockcurrently available for Pixel smartphones, which in its most recent version adds a peculiar function that facilitates the maximum customization of something that can sometimes be as annoying as the tone with which the alarm sounds.
The ability to record sounds and use them as an alarm tone is currently only available for Pixel smartphones
It’s a common feature in other alarm clock apps, and Android also allows its Clock app to use as an alarm. any sounds previously recorded by the user. And this applies equally to the timers that are programmed. In this way the alarm can sound at dawn with the sound of a rooster crowing and the timer that warns that the pasta is already al dente can be that gondolier who was recorded singing while rowing through the canals during that trip to Venice.
Until now, if you wanted to assign any other melody to an alarm than the ones included in the Android operating system itself, the process was somewhat complex, having to copy the sound files using a file management appadding them to the folder where the android operating system stores the alarm sounds.
All that is left behind with the new update of the Android Clock app for Pixel phones thanks to the new built-in function that allows you to directly record the sound that you want to use as an audible warning of the alarm. The reason that this function is limited only to Pixel smartphones is that to achieve it, use is made of the exclusive audio recording application that this range of Android mobiles incorporates.
The Pixel line of mobile phones is Android’s “darling girl”, which is the first to receive the innovations from the ecosystem, some of which are later transferred to the rest of the smartphones compatible with the operating system developed by Google.
The alternative, for those who dare with this type of procedure not always advisable, especially for laymenit would go through installing a custom ROM on your non-Pixel smartphone in which you can install said application.
In any case, the procedure to assign the sound recorded by the user himself is as simple as selecting the option to record it when the alarm or timer is being set. At that time, it will suffice to play the desired sound or the voice announcement that you want to hear before the mobile’s microphone when the appointed time is.
