Unfortunately Ubuntu hasn't been able to play sound on my PC since
13.10, so I can't hear what any of the other sounds sound like. But I
would be extremely surprised if the incoming call sound was really the
"closest conceptual fit". What about bell.ogg for example?

Renato, making the sound configurable is a separate problem. Even if it
was configurable, the default still shouldn't be the ringtone for
incoming calls.

Title:
  It's confusing to use the Incoming Call sound for Alarms

Status in The Date and Time Indicator:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  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.
