** Description changed:

  indicator-datetime is currently playing /usr/share/sounds/ubuntu/stereo
  /phone-incoming-call.ogg when an alarm goes off.
  
- This was chosen because $reasons, but it's confusing to recycle the same
- sound for two unrelated events like this and IMO we should add a alarm
- sound to the ubuntu-sounds package.
+ This was chosen mostly for expediency as it was the closest conceptual
+ fit from the ubuntu-sounds that are available, but IMO it's an oversight
+ to not have a separate alarm sound. Using the same sound for two
+ unrelated events is confusing.
  
- Assigning to Design for Design feedback.

  /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
