Back then, if I want to change GNOME Clocks' alarm sound to my preferred one, I just have to replace a few audio files inside freedesktop's stereo folder.

But unbeknownst to me, before making this video, starting from Build 45, GNOME had apparently bundled their own alarm sounds to GNOME Clocks, so, that workaround is useless now, because the recent versions do not rely on Linux's System Sound Themes anymore.

On this video, we will talk about an alternative way on how to change them again
