First you'll need to add the audio file as a custom ringtone to your iPhone. For doing so, follow the instructions in the linked answer:

Once you have the custom ringtone into your iPhone (you can check the same by going to Settings app → Sounds & Haptics → Ringtone), you can also use it as an alarm tone in Clock app.
