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.)
radio alarm app!
I wake up to molchat doma - volny every day
Just ripped it from newpipe and set the song to my alarm tone.
Up before the drums come in almost always, but if im dog tired and dont hear it, the drums coming in will do it.
Sonic the Hedgehog drowning music.
Works best if you have the accompanying childhood trauma.
I always thought the Rocky Theme or Alan Parsons Project Sirius would work great. But I’ve never really tried.
red alert klaxons, or something else from a star trek sound bank like this
the one song that NASA banned where the only intelligible words are “big black cadillac” in the middle, i’d look it up but i’m on the toilet at work
The Legendary Stardust Cowboy - paralyzed
I set my alarm to a soma.fm station so it’s not the same everyday
I really like waking up to bird song.
One unexpected benefit is that i recognize it now as the signal to wake up, but it is usually subtle enough that it doesn’t wake other people up in the same room, especially if i turn on rising volume.
Don’t use your favorite song. I did that once now I can’t listen to it without getting dread
The intro to a lot of songs make good repeating alarms.
Wow, this Lufi file hoster is really nice. Never heard of it before
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
You can control the difficulty 😉
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!
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.
I have mine set to the same sound as an incoming phone call, that way psychologically it’s harder to ignore or dismiss.
