Make an alarm ringtone
A loud alarm is perfect for waking up or for a notification you cannot miss. Open any sound in the free Ringtone Maker, choose the best few seconds, add a fade and download it as MP3 for Android or iPhone. To use an alarm in a video, trim it with the Audio Cutter.
Tips for using alarms in videos and games
Alarms are loud by nature, so keep them a little lower than your voice track. For tension, start an alarm softly in the background and raise it as the action peaks. In games, a looping electronic alarm works well for danger zones and timers running out.
