SUMMARY The default alarm sound of the KClock app which I used on desktop for setting timers has a sound which made my ears hurt as I use desktop headsets. It should be something else by default or, more importantly, allow to be changed by the end user on a Desktop plasma session. From what I was able to see in the Plasma Settings page, I saw that the notifications did in fact had a timer section in the Applications settings which had a much more soothing and less ear-damaging sound which Kclock did not use at all. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Open KClock 2. Set a timer (time doesnt matter) 3. Wait till it ends. OBSERVED RESULT High pitched alarm sound which hurts the ears and one which cant be changed within the app or outside. EXPECTED RESULT Probably should've used the Timer sound from the Application-specific settings in the Notifications settings SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Operating System: EndeavourOS KDE Plasma Version: 6.3.4 KDE Frameworks Version: 6.13.0 Qt Version: 6.9.0 Kernel Version: 6.12.26-1-lts (64-bit) Graphics Platform: Wayland Processors: 4 × Intel® Core™ i5-6500 CPU @ 3.20GHz Memory: 7.7 GiB of RAM Graphics Processor: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
I added this feature in https://invent.kde.org/utilities/kclock/-/merge_requests/206 Is a global timer sound option okay? Implementing per timer one (as alarm sound config) is a bit more involved.

Implementing per timer one (as alarm > sound config) is a bit more involved. Yeah being able to manage timer sound globally is good. I may ask what is the state for the Alarm sound or do I also need to make a another bug report about that?
Kclock already supports setting alarm sound
Updating status since the bug janitor process didn't seem to pick up on the connection to that merge request
