Public bug reported:

indicator-datetime is currently playing /usr/share/sounds/ubuntu/stereo
/phone-incoming-call.ogg when an alarm goes off.

This was chosen because it's the closest conceptual fit from the ubuntu-
sounds that are available, but IMO a poor fit. Using the same sound for
two unrelated events is confusing; we should have a separate, unique
alarm sound.

Assigning to Design for feedback.
