Charles, as I said, Ubuntu hasn't been able to play sound on my PC since
13.10. So asking me choose appropriate sounds is really not a good idea.
I can only agree with you that yes, it is very confusing to use the
incoming call sound for alarms.

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

Status in The Date and Time Indicator:
  Confirmed
Status in Clock application for Ubuntu devices:
  New

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.
