If I create a custom ringtone for my alarm (e.g. 3 seconds), does the sound loop or just play once for the 3 seconds, then stop?
 
The maximum duration on the iPhone is 40 seconds. Ringtones longer than 40 seconds may not sync with iTunes and iOS devices.
 
Your reply is of no help!
I am new to experimenting and changing settings on my iPhone, so that if I inadvertantly stuff things up, I want to be able for the phone to revert back to how it previously was.

Agree with FreakinEurekan.

Why not just create a ringtone that is 3 seconds long and set it for your alarm and see what happens? If it doesn't work, delete the ringtone and go back to the default, no biggie. It's not a permanent change...
