Was using a sony z5 and alarm icon didnt go away even when there was no alarms set. Tried to find where it was coming from but gave up since i was going to change my phone. Just gotten a galaxy S8 for 2 days and the alarm icon is back when i have not touched any alarm applications. Help im annoyed.
Since its a new phone i dont have extra calender or notes installed other than the default apps which i have no set an alarm on. The only thing i can think off is me logging into my google acc on the phone but it has not given me this problem in previous phones only till recently and i dont find any alarms on it

On which side of the status bar is that alarm notification, left or right? Have you already tried safe mode?

Safe Mode temporarily disables third-party apps diagnostically. If the problem disappears in Safe Mode, that suggests that you have such an app that's causing it. Having determined which one - it could be the one that was installed just before the trouble started - you can exit Safe Mode, and either Disable the app, or Clear Cache, Clear Data, Force Stop and Uninstall.

As Belodion explained this means that the alarm icon comes from an app that you downloaded in both phones. It can be tricky to find out which one is the culprit, but you could try a couple of things.
Restart your phone and wait until the icon shows up. Go to settings - memory and see which apps are listed there (select the minimum amount of time, 3 hours I think). The culprit should be there, probably way down on that list.
If you have Developer options enabled you can repeat the same process and see what's listed under 'running processes' right after the alarm icon pops up.

It seems the memory usage is kind of buried in the S8 settings. Try in settings - apps - apps manager - 3 dots - memory.
Thanks @PJRed2008 for the hard work of finding the path

Yeah, clearing processes won't remove the notification. It could help if you repeat those processes after leaving the phone inactive, or even switched off, for a while, first thing in the morning for example.
