[QUOTE="julianne1234, post: 1394948, member: 248528"] Here's what I want my iphone to do: make a sound (of my choosing/creation) at intervals during the day and then STOP making that sound after 30-40 seconds. That is, not repeat the sound ad nauseum (i.e. for 15 minutes) until I manually turn it off. I am using this as a meditation/breathing/mindfulness reminder, and I have tried and searched to find a way to get the alarm to play a non-repeating sound, but to no avail. I am hoping that someone in the forum may know of an app that will suit this purpose (I currently have multiple times set, but at this point am willing to have one that repeats at the same time each hour between 7am and 10pm, but can be set not to chime overnight). The KEY is finding some app (or way to modify the alarm clock that comes with the iphone) that does not require human/tactile intervention to make the chime/alarm stop sounding. Ideally, I'd like it to make three chime strikes and stop. I've got the sound I want recorded and set on iTunes, but the alarm clock makes that 30second recording repeat in a loop for 15 minutes if I don't turn it off. When I am in the middle of something or my phone is resting across the room, etc, this is a nuisance. I just want it to chime three times and stop, until the next time it's set to chime. Hoping for a simple solution - and grateful for any responses that help me move toward accomplishing what seems to be a simple goal.....but is eluding me! Thanks! [/QUOTE]
