Curious what kind of alarm/ringtone people are rocking. Gentle and subtle tunes or straight up horrible loud alarms?
Piezo.

The first sound gives me a heart attack now
I have an analog alarm, and when ever I hear an old fashioned phone ringing I get a rush of adrenaline and a feeling of existensial dread.
Damn, thats not bad.
Alarm is the hypnotoad sound. No ringtones for calls, just vibration.
This is my ringtone.
I use a 14400 baud handshake.
I made my own from scratch at one point. Perks of being a sound designer lol.
Could you please share it?
It was years ago and I don’t think I have it anymore. But I felt guilty I didn’t have anything to give, so I went ahead and put this together just now: https://files.catbox.moe/0smvcl.mp3
It’s really good! Thanks! Might use it as my alarm, actually! :-)
Southwest Airlines “Fasten your seatbelt” chime
I have my alarm set to Good Morning Jazz playlist via Spotify.
I prefer it over most other alarms since it’s less abrupt.
I also have a smart lamp set to turn on at the same time. It slowly gets brighter at a set schedule.
I sampled Beastie Boys - Get it Together. The break where Q-Tip says, “Phone is ringing…oh my god”, and then a little part of chorus after that “get it together…see what’s happening” looped.
A cuckoo bird that gradually increases in volume.
After replacing most of my mid-high frequency hearing (starting from 1000Hz and nosediving thereafter) with tinnitus - no tone, just vibration. Rattling away in the cradle does the job.
On the bright side, I am rarely woken or kept awake by noise.

I almost wish I had tinnitus then because I’m woken up by any one of my four roommates opening and closing doors or the construction a block away that starts at 7am on the dot.
Roomies are temporary, but the scree in your ears is forever. I’ve adapted - it has been my unwanted yet constant companion for decades.
Others can mentally struggle with it, especially if onset is sudden and permanent from otherwise normal hearing. Fairly high up the symptom list for brain tumours as well, so that’s just swell for new sufferers that now need their head inspected.
Protect your ears, kids. We only get two and they’re very easy to damage in today’s noisy world.
Hello Goodbye ringtone chime for 20+ yrs solid now. Target tried to make it theirs for a quick min but that was short lived.
Rooster alarm. Only thing that wakes me up without pissing me off.
