How to Change Island Tune & Flag in Animal Crossing New Horizons

To be able to change both your island tune and flag, you must first upgrade Resident Services from a tent to a building, which happens after completing approximately a week’s worth of Tom Nook’s daily tasks.

Once Resident Services is its own building, speak with Isabelle inside by sitting on the chair in front of her desk. She will give you the option to change both your island tune and flag.

For your island tune, you get 16 notes to compose a melody. Select each note to change its pitch until you are satisfied with how the tune sounds. Isabelle will preview it by singing it, which is incredibly adorable, and it will be set as your island tune.

As for your island flag, you can use a custom design much like the custom patterns you can use for clothes. First, you must design a pattern using your Nook Phone, or you can use a default pattern. Once you’ve selected the design you want to use, it will be set as your island flag.

It’s as simple as that! You can change the tune and flag as often as you’d like. It’s a great way to add a personalized touch to your town.
