I would like to change the default alert sound for my calendar and reminder notifications.
I have already set a custom system alert sound, but for calendar and reminders nothing has changed.
I just do not find a way, and that very nice , soft alert just does not do the job for me.
Could you please help out here?
Because I need a much more aggressive alert for my calendar events and reminders.

All you can change is the alert sound, as it sounds like you have. Both Reminders and Calendar don’t really play a sound — they trigger a notification. And that notification has a sound, or not, depending on your settings in System Preferences, Notifications. You can customize how notifications appear for each app there, but there is no setting for a custom sound. If you need to make the notifications for these “more aggressive” then I would suggest switching them to “Alerts” style with all checkboxes on.
Hi Gary,
Should it be the system alert sound, is it the same as the notification sound?
The sound played by Calendar is none of which I have under System settings/Sound/soundeffekts.
Szabolcs: I guess not then. But either way there is no setting to change the sound.
Hi Gary,
Thank’s for your answers. It is really disappointing after all I saw in Apple software, great feature and navigation design everywhere… At the same time one cannot configure the notification sounds.
I guess I could script “aggressive” Alerts, but I cannot do it yet.
It is definitely something to add.
