Locate the Ringer and Alerts section. Tap and hold the slider, and drag it all the way to the right. Tap the Change with Buttons toggle if you want to control the ringer and alarm with the volume buttons on your phone. If you enable the Change with Buttons option, you’ll need to adjust the media volume (music, videos, etc) in the Control Center from now on, as the volume buttons will only control the ringer and alarm.

Open the Clock app, tap Alarm, choose an alarm, then tap Sound. Try a few different tones to find one that’s loud enough, and avoid using the same tone you use for your regular ringtone. Try a new vibration pattern.
