Alarm clocks would be more effective if the sound was someone puking or gagging.

I always hit snooze on my alarm clock, but I jump right out of bed if I hear someone puking or gagging (e.g., kids or my dog).
You're viewing a single thread.
I fear the result would be slower reactions for the real event.
The sound has to rotate randomly.
That’s a great idea. Maybe make it so you can load up as many customizable sounds as you like, and they randomly shuffle each time.
We should compile a playlist.
- jackhammer
- air raid siren*
- trumpet reveille
- taiko drumming
- "eagle" (i.e. hawk) cry
- monkeys screeching
- Woody fuckin Woodpecker laugh
- applause
- theme from Rawhide
*maybe don't use this one in tornado country. Don't desensitize oneself to actual emergency warning tones.
- “eagle” (i.e. actual) cry
Because it would be funny.
Here are some more ideas
- A cat drops a vase on the floor, resulting in the sound of glass shattering and water splattering.
- A burglar throws a brick through your living room window and proceeds to clear the rest of the glass with the barrel of a shotgun.
- The washing machine upstairs starts leaking, the floor is completely flooded and water begins to seep from your ceiling.
- A toaster catches fire, flames engulf the kitchen, molten plastic drips on the floor, burning furniture begins to crumble.
- A squirrel sneaks in through an open window and finds a box of cereal in the kitchen. It chews the box open and makes a nest in there.
- mice in walls
- squirrel in ceiling
- racoon in floor
- elderly neighbors talking without hearing aids
- pounding on the door
- scratching at the door
dont forget THE SOUNDS OF NUCLEAR WARFARE
Oh, you mean the sound of intense radiation roasting the paint off the walls for a few seconds, followed by a shock wave that shreds the entire building in a split second?
Yeah, that should do the trick.
