Google’s Clock app will now let create custom alarm sounds

Google has a new update for its users. The newly added Android Clock on Pixel devices will now let users record their own alarm and time alert sounds. According to a report by The Verge, earlier, users had to transfer the files using a file manager app and then add them using the alarm sound settings.
Now, users do not need to follow any such process as the company has added a new option to record sounds under the Clock application.

It is to be noted that the feature is currently available to Pixel users as it uses the Pixel-exclusive Recorder app, the report added.
Another report by 9to5Google states that the update is being rolled out via a server-side update to Google Clock 7.3. Although custom alarm sounds are already available on regular alarms and timers users set.

How does the feature work
The feature adds to the existing ability to use downloaded or custom sounds from the Files app or your on-device internal storage. Now, a new option will appear in the Clock app in the “Your sounds” section with the “Record new” button that is now available.

Once the feature is available on the Pixel device, users can practice the feature using the ‘Record new’ sound button, which will launch the Recorder app. After recording the alarm sound, the clip will appear with a date and time as shown in the Google Clock app along with the Google Recorder application.
Additionally, users can also delete the custom alarm recordings saved in the Google Clock app by tapping the three vertical dots and hitting ‘Remove’. Since it is a server-side update, sideloading Google Recorder v7.3 is unlikely to bring the functionality to the device.
