User level: Level 1 (9 points)I have tried to set a shortcut to disable all timer volumes during a shortcut using the new iOS 27 Shortcuts. No Focus Mode is on.
why am I still getting a sound when the timer ends?

Set the timer sound to "Stop Playing": Open the Clock app, go to the Timer tab, tap When Timer Ends, scroll all the way to the bottom, and select Stop Playing instead of an alert tone or song.
Use a "Wait" action instead: Replace the native timer action in your shortcut with a Wait action (if your duration is short) to pause execution within the shortcut natively without triggering the Clock app's alarm sound.
Clear recent/preset timers: Clear out your recent timer history in the Clock app because iOS can revert to default preset alert sounds when a new duration is dynamically called via Shortcuts.
