This article describes steps to change the end of Focus and break session alarm sound in Windows 11.

Focus is a new feature in Windows 11 that helps you minimize distractions. To help you stay on track, it integrates with the Clock app with features like a focus timer and music integration.

By default, after each Focus session, you will hear an alarm with a notification informing you that the session has ended. For long sessions, breaks are included to get you to do other things and recharge or take a bio-break.

After each Focus break session, you will also hear an alarm sound letting you know that the session break has ended.

Users can turn off or on alarms for the end of Focus or the end of a break when using Focus. In addition, users who don’t like the default Tap sound can change it anytime.
