Starting in iOS 16, you can add custom alarms, appliance sounds, and doorbells to Sound Recognition on your iPhone. In Settings, go to Accessibility, then Sound Recognition, and tap Sounds. Choose Custom Appliance or Doorbell, and follow the setup instructions by naming your custom sound and letting your iPhone listen to it multiple times. If noise is detected but not from your appliance, tap Ignore and keep listening. A blue check mark will confirm successful detection. Save the sound, and repeat the process until your iPhone learns the sound completely. Once learned, your iPhone will notify you when it hears the sound again.
