mpt, bell.ogg is just a short 'bloomp' sound. Playing that in a loop, as
one would for an alarm, is an awful noise. :-) Really I don't think many
of its sibling sounds were designed to be looped either. Are you sure
that's what you want?

I agree that this is a question of the default sound and that allowing
alarms to override that is a separate issue.

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

Status in The Date and Time Indicator:
  Incomplete

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.
