Some users utilize Outlook’s calendar to schedule event reminders. Outlook has a reminder sound that alerts users to scheduled events on their calendars. You can customize Outlook’s default reminder sound by changing it to one downloaded from the web.

How can I download and configure Outlook’s reminder sounds?

First, you’ll need to download a new Outlook reminder sound. You can get Outlook reminder sounds from numerous alert sound effect website depositories. Check out the Free Sound Clips website which includes an Alert Sounds page.

There you can download numerous reminder alert sounds for Outlook in the WAV file format.
