Anybody have good mp3 files to use as alarm sounds?
If the sound is too annoying I will turn it off right away and go back to sleep.
I usually take a while to wake up so very short ones dont work too well for me.
Sometimes I want gentle and other times more aggressive so all moods are welcome.
To directly share files, you can upload them to a temporary file hosting service like https://upload.disroot.org/ and post/pm a link.
If you have one that came with your phone but can’t access the file to share (or dont want to), just post the name and if possible what kind of phone it is, maybe I can find it. (On my android phone you must have Rooted the device to access the alarm files.)
the pokeflute song, best alarm ever.
I’ve been using The Cursed Clock from Nine Inch Nails Ghosts: Locust album.
It starts out soft and low, but slowly builds.
I’ve been using this for years and it’s about as perfect of an alarm as I’ve ever found.
Sound of glass breaking. Wakes me up in a hurry every time.
I go with The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly theme by Morricone.
Still gives me the chills even 15 years and countless mornings later.

- “We have arrived, and it is now that we perform our charge. In fealty to the God-Emperor, our undying Lord, and by the grace of the Golden Throne, I declare Exterminatus upon the Imperial world of Typhon Primaris. I hereby sign the death warrant of an entire world, and consign a million souls to oblivion. May Imperial Justice account in all balance. The Emperor Protects.” *
I have mine set to the same sound as an incoming phone call, that way psychologically it’s harder to ignore or dismiss.
The solution for waking up is math.
Get an app that does not allow you to snooze or turn it off without solving math problems. Just 32 + 47 - 13 is enough to get you up. It is very frustrating though, standing there with mots of noise wanting to solve it fast.
I’m bad enough at math wide awake
Always a good choice from Marc Rebillet!
The HEEEYYYEEEYYEEEYYEEAAA song with He Man has been a favorite of mine for a long time.
And when I was struggling the most with getting up, I made my alarm sound a screaming goat. It gets you up, but don’t use it if you have heart problems or anything.
Don’t use your favorite song. I did that once now I can’t listen to it without getting dread
Android lets your record your own alarm tones. I have a selection for different reasons to remind me WHY I’m getting up.
I also have one that’s just me yelling to get up NOW.
Getting the gf to laugh at the alarm is a good way to get her up!
I use “Air Hockey Saloon” by Chris Zabriskie. Certainly more on the gentle side.

I’m awful at waking up, absolute dog shit.
I recently got a watch that monitors my heart rate and can also do alarms, it just vibrate, but the buttons are small and the screen is finicky so I have to really focus to press snooze or end. Then I have an alarm on my phone that starts vibrating a minute later and its been working great to wake me up.
Unfortunately I can’t do any sort of sound because it’ll wake up the whole house, then we’re all having a bad morning.
C418 - Stal
Starts off smooth so you won’t instamute it, but once the recorder starts playing you’re not sleeping through itSonic the Hedgehog drowning music.
Works best if you have the accompanying childhood trauma.
