Whoops, sorry about that… totally forgot you do need to reach trust level 1 in order to upload files!
Your SoundCloud embed works well though 
PagerDuty Ringtones
I just set up PagerDuty’s app for the first time in a long while for my new job.
These alerts are PRICELESS!

So, with the iphone app, how can I add my own custom alert tones?
At the moment, the PagerDuty app cannot override system sounds on iOS, unfortunately. This is due to Apple’s API, which does not allow developers to override a device’s sound at the moment. We will need to look into this after Apple exposes that part of their API to developers.
To add to that, you can still use custom ringtones by adding PagerDuty’s vCard to your phone and assigning your custom sound to the PagerDuty contact.
It seems like the app will only let us select from the iOS “Alert” tones. The PD app isn’t allowed to access the normal ringtones?
Hi Glenn! That’s a great question.
Because of the way that iOS handles push notification tones, every tone we offer has to be packaged in the app, increasing its size. Therefore we had to be judicious about what was included. If there’s a specific tone you’d like to hear, let us know.
Cheers!

The ability of a mobile app to access and use ringtones on a device can depend on the app’s design, the platform’s restrictions, and the permissions granted to the app. Here are some considerations:
- App Design:
- Some apps may have their own set of sounds or tones that they include internally for notifications. In such cases, the app might limit users to select from a predefined list of sounds that are packaged with the app.
- Platform Restrictions:
- On iOS, apps are generally restricted in their ability to directly access Indiana system-level settings, including the full set of ringtones available on the device. Apple imposes certain limitations to ensure security and privacy.

The sounds you share are great, but how can I download the sounds to my device to make ringtones? We hope you will respond soon.

Hello @max.mad,
To use custom ringtones, all you need is to enable PagerDuty app push notifications on your device!
It’s been over 8 years now, is there still no way to select custom ringtones/alert sounds for PagerDuty? I already have the sound I want on my phone, and I can assign it to phone calls, texts, etc but the PagerDuty app does not “detect” the sound so I’m unable to select it.
Hey @scott.schramm, that’ss unfortunately not possible for our iOS app as we have no ability to access users’s ringtones & alerts.
@xenda.amici Thanks for the reply. If it’s impossible to access the custom sounds installed in iOS, then would it be possible for the PagerDuty app to have an “import” mechanism where the user can upload their custom sound directly into the app so it can be selected that way?
The problem with the currently available sounds is that they are all very annoying and jarring. If I’m paged at 3 AM while trying to sleep, I want a sound that starts quietly and slowly increases the volume so I’m peacefully woken up, not a loud noise that causes a panic attack.
“Canada Goose” and “On call, Take the Fall” are the closest options to something that gradually increases in volume but are far too annoying.
