    It makes an old fashioned alarm clock noise and it's VERY loud. The neighbours say they can sometimes hear it. Or sometimes it's the dog at five in the morning :-/

    I have heard you can get these lamps that are set to act like a dawn and wake you up more I have always wanted to try and find one.

    It whimpers with fear when I wake up.

    I actually have no idea what it's like at all. I wake up to it at least 5 mornings every week but haven't got the slightest clue what it is!

    Having a cat, it is the sound of a hungry feline wondering if the human is tasty.

    Plays "The Sound of Silence"

    Dawn waves. Gently wakes me, unlike my previous alarm with a piercing sound . Nearly smashed the phone a couple of times.

    A Mini Dachshund. They are known for being very vocal dogs and tend to bark more than other breeds. And he is very loud! It's great because he makes a great watchdog! :-)

    JRTs are lovely :-)

    The sound of a thomas the tank engine book hitting off my head accompanied by a little voice threatening me to "read it read it"

    My alarm is Ivan Yates bitching about something that happened the day before, and Chris Donoghue acting like an embarrassed son who has just heard his father fart in public. Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 13,925 ✭✭✭✭anncoates


    Harsh klaxon sound that is very irritating but wakes me up.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,034 ✭✭✭mad muffin


    Mine says:

    Is it morning yet?

    Or

    It's a bright sunny day

    Or

    Is it not too early to wake up

    And I'm like

    For the love of God. Go back the fûck to sleep. It's only 6 o'clock! :(

    I have a light that gets slowly brighter for half an hour which wakes me, **** being woken by noise any more!

    Mine is a combination of the two. Philips dawn light radio alarm clock. Best alarm clock ever.
    None of that fumbling in the dark looking for snooze.

    "It's time to get up. The time is _____ "

    Pretty annoying and I really don't know why I put up with it to be honest. :(


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,383 ✭✭✭Miss Demeanour


    Have a gentle enough waves kinda thing.....

    Someone once kindly decided to change it for me to an angry Mexican shouting....."wake up or I'll kiiiiillllll youuuuu!" Nearly took the senses out of me with the fright!!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,192 ✭✭✭pharmaton


    my relatively new phone had to brought in for repairs the other day so they gave me some tatty old thing to use until I get mine back. I just realised I have to set the alarm on it now. I'll check out the sounds and report back asap.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 32,688 ✭✭✭✭ytpe2r5bxkn0c1


    I haven't set an alarm in over 12 years.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,192 ✭✭✭pharmaton


    I don't seem to have a selection to choose from and I won't know how it sounds til it wakes me tomorrow at 7am. I await til then with anticipation.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,706 ✭✭✭sadie06


    Mine goes, "Beep,.Beep, Beep,de,be,beep"

    I don't know why, but this made me laugh a lot!

    Mine is 'Silk" on the iPhone and it is the most soothing alarm I have ever had.

    This yoke, but mine has lovely birds tweeting at the end. Very relaxing (which strangely makes it nicer to get up)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,028 ✭✭✭✭--LOS--


    A gentle sunrise, alone or accompanied by Dutch radio. Thank you lumie


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,294 ✭✭✭YellowFeather


    Such a cool question!

    My first alarm is that gorgeous orchestral piece that they always play in Disney movies. It starts off at a very low volume so as to seduce me into consciousness.

    The next few alarms are whatever the feck random ringtones I chose the night before.

    The final one is my big alarm and that just goes BLEEP BLEEP until I give up and get out of bed.

    I probably need a better morning routine..

    Mine was an audio compilation of Ricky Gervais's laughs for about 5 years, was pretty much the most annoying thing I could find... something like this:



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,713 ✭✭✭✭Novella


    My alarm is Ed Sheeran's song Photograph. It's pretty quiet but enough to wake me up. I can't stand being startled from sleep by loud or brash sounds.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 9,088 ✭✭✭SpaceTime


    I had one that sounded very like this

    One morning I woke up and it was outside the window in the rain.
    I have no memory of doing it but I was an hour late!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 516 ✭✭✭Jogathon


    I have my iPod in an iPod alarm clock, so I get woken up by a random song. It starts off quiet, and I love it because I can relax with my eyes closed until the song is over, and then I get up.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,147 ✭✭✭PizzamanIRL


    I wish I could tell you but I always sleep through it.

    Mine is whenever generic one is auto selected on an I phone and whenever I hear it on tv or during the day it makes my stomach almost fall out my ass

    I had that at first but my cats went mad! I might try out the waves again.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 9,764 ✭✭✭my3cents


    Doesn't anyone have an alarm clock radio anymore? I wake up to the sounds of BBC Radio 4's the Today program.

    Blissful silence. I retired when I was 45, nearly 15 years ago now. :D

    Before anyone says it, I've never taken a cent from the state, and never will.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,420 ✭✭✭Trebor176


    The theme tune for Wallace and Gromit. Similar clock to this:
