Notifications have a lower level of priority than an alarm. Notification volume is set differently than alarm volume. Alarms take over the screen whereas notifications just give you a prompt at the top. As a person with ADD, it’s a huge inconvenience and I need to use workarounds that are unreliable. I just want a ducking alarm when I need it without getting some stupid artificial limitation on why I can’t do it.
Isn’t it possible to change the notification sound by selecting an alarm sound , just for calendar notifications?
This should give you what you need
The only caveat i can think of now, is that notifications don’t loop the sound… So pretty much useless, unless you just need one loud reminder
