• Change the alarm tone– You may have set an alarm tone that is not overheard.

• Check connected devices– If you have some headphones or a speaker connected via Bluetooth or any other means to the iPhone, the alarm will be played on that device. It is usually better to make it sound through the iPhone’s own speaker, as this way there is a better chance that you will hear it.
• Restart your iPhone: Maybe some iOS process running in the background can prevent your alarm from sounding. If you turn your phone off and on again, you can solve these types of specific problems.
