Some smartphones don't use the 12-hour time format. Your phone might have given you an hour list up till 24. If so, use the 24-hour format equivalent.

The alarm sound settings are in the clock app. Because the alarm sound can be different for each alarm, the option to change the alarm sound is found when you tap on the specific alarm.
