What is your ALARM!!!!!?

WindSock · 23-12-2011 2:08am #1

I can't understand people who have horrible alarm claxon or WEH WEH WEH noises. What a rotten thing to wake up to.

Mine is the lovely sound of the dawn chorus with a nice slow break of tweety chirpy birds that give me a nice soothing eventual wake up.

Of course being unemployed means I just roll over anyway and go back to sleep till I feel ready to get out of my nice warm pitta bread.

However it still works for when I need to be awake early. Tis like the birds themselves come along to dress me a la Snow White then peck at my eyes as the light hits them, a la The Birds.

And twhen I had a job to come home from and a nap to attend to before my exercisings, I would have a motivational wake up jingle like the Lucozade ad

Of course getting up from a nap and getting up from 7 or so hours sleeping are 2 different things, there is no way I would have something like that in the morning. No WAY hose.

So, what do y'all have as yours then?

I have generic ANNOYING iphone noise. The nokia one was the worst. T think I need an annoying sound.

DEFTLEFTHAND · 23-12-2011 2:11am

Just a standard alarm tone on my phone, not a pleasant sound at 7am though.

Tesco Massacre · 23-12-2011 2:11am

My alarm is my next door neighbour shouting at her kids.

'Get in the bleedin' car, will yiz'.

stupidusername · 23-12-2011 2:12am

Yeah I go with the generic WEH WEH WEH noise.everything else sticks in my head and eventually annoys me hearing it.

Balfie · 23-12-2011 2:12am

Garda Sirens,

So loud it always wakes me up, No matter what.

WindSock · 23-12-2011 2:14am

...Such an awesome song, haven't heard it all in a while. Must remember to ad it to my playlist...

Jordan 199 · 23-12-2011 2:15am

WEH WEH WEH.

I then hit the snooze button for a bit more shuteye.

WEH WEH WEH....

Kylo Ren · 23-12-2011 2:18am

I used to use the 'Alarm' one on the iPod/iPhone through secondary school. They sometimes use this noise as alarms in films and tv shows and whenever I hear it, it brings me right back to getting up on those cold mornings. Hate that ****ing noise with a passion.

Killer Pigeon · 23-12-2011 2:19am

Mines is this voice shouting in a rough East London accent, "Get up you filthy rodent. Get out of bed, you piece you shit, you vermin of the Earth. Life would be so much better without you..." And it goes on like that for about ten minutes and starts up again.

Jesus Wept · 23-12-2011 2:47am

I find that whatever I have set as my alarm, no matter how pleasant - will make my stomach churn upon hearing it once enough time has passed.

So I've given up changing it tbh, I just have some generic mellow type tone set as my alarm which cuts through me like nails on a chalkboard. :-/

I don't like alarms.

brummytom · 23-12-2011 2:48am

It's a bit energetic alright. I'd prefer something miserable like Adele but I don't have her on my phone!

I won an MP3 Alarm clock off CBBC, that used to play Fur Elise to me

Captain Darling · 23-12-2011 11:02am

I have some kind of chimey thing that builds up slowly. It doesnt shock me out of slumber.

I am not a 'put it on snooze' person. Drives me cracked. Its only delaying the ineveitable. Get up ta fcuk!

Wertz · 23-12-2011 11:09am

The Today programme on radio 4, at an increasing volume... usually the power clicking on on the hifi wakens me anyway. No snooze button either so I've to look for the remote to turn it down and that's enough to get me up and out.
Stupid alarm tones wake you up with too much of a start...can't be good for you.Same with poxy phone calls wakening you.

My phone has a tone called Breeze, it's like bells chiming in the wind and it's like someone tinkles a bell gently beside my ear to wake me up.

Oranage2 · 23-12-2011 11:40am

And the Cocker has perfected a whining sound that is so high pitched it makes you want to kill yourself

Azureus · 23-12-2011 12:06pm

I've got a generic phone weeeehhhh weeehhhhhh alarm-cant stand the sound of it, it gets me out of bed!
If I had a lovely dawn chorus Id just lie in bed enjoying my alarm and fall back asleep.
