Microsoft for some unknown reason felt that repeating alarm sounds were not really needed and removed them from Pocket PC 2002.  We all know differently.  The sound files downloadable from this page are a quick and easy way to add back that functionality.  They are provided FREE as a service to the Pocket PC Community. 

The sound files on this page started out as the standard alarm sounds provided with Pocket PC 2002, Pocket PC 2000 or Palm-Sized PC.  Each sound was then processed to maximize it's volume and replicated multiple times to produce a repeating alarm sound.  Silence was added between each repetition for a pleasing effect.  These files should work on most Pocket PC 2000 and 2002 devices, but some devices may use different encodings for WAV files and therefore it is left to the user to determine compatibility.

One of the drawbacks of repeating sounds in this fashion is that the resulting sound file is much larger than the original.  If you are looking for a more fully functional solution with a smaller footprint you should consider SuperAlert from Whittaker Moore Associates Limited.

Alarm Sound File Support

PocketConcepts provides these alarm sound files as is, with no warranty. Use them at your own risk.  We will answer basic questions on the installation and usage of the files, but that is all. 

Download and Installation Instructions

1. Choose the files you wish to download.  Each section ends with a ZIP file containing all the files in that section or you can choose individual files.
2. Download the files you have chosen.  For the individual WAV files, you may need to use your browser's method of saving a target file.  For Internet Explorer, this would be right clicking on the hyperlink and choosing Save Target as...
3. Once you have downloaded the files, you need to install them on your device.  This can be accomplished using ActiveSync or other means to copy the files to your device.
4. Copy the files you wish to use to the Windows folder of your device.  Using ActiveSync you would choose the Explore option to open up a window.  By default this will display the contents of the My Documents folder.  Click on the Icon named My Pocket PC and then click on the Windows folder.  This is where you need to copy the files.
5. Once the files are installed in the Windows folder, you can use them just like you would use any of the original alarm sounds.  Enjoy.
