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

This stock Nothing alarm tone , really like Nothing sounds so use them for everything !

[–] Soku@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

My alarm cannot be anything with a real melody or I will hum it for hours on. I use some default tune what's more of a trill, does the job. My text/email alert used to be popping the bottle cap sound, my current phone has some brrp noise close enough to a fart to make me giggle - I'm old but not mature.

As for ring tones, I used to purchase some for pocket change from the last page of the tv guide. All fun and games until all the old relatives started dropping like flies. It just doesn't feel right to get an invitation to another funeral preceded by the Scissors Sisters 'I don't feel like dancing' or Eamon's 'fuck you'. For a long time my ring tone was the old school land line ringing. From the moment I was able to choose the ring tone from my playlist it has been 'Heavy Cross' by Gossip. I feel it's suitable for all occurrences while being only mine.

I use Runnin' Thru the 7th with My Woadies - $uicideboy$. The intro starts soft and takes about 30 seconds to fully build up.

Kind of a "ready to take on the world" thing happening.

Cuz, you got this!

Usually some song I like, currently: Yorushika - Sunny.

The music that plays when Sonic the Hedgehog is drowning. I have never missed an alarm with that sound.

I wake up 10 minutes before I need to get up so I almost never set alarms

[–] sem@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 3 days ago

Birdsong.

A few times I've had to use my alarm when other people are sleeping and it usually wakes me up (because I'm used to it) without waking anyone else up too.

[–] snoons@lemmy.ca 1 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

I use Dark Anthem by Apparat because it makes me feel like I'm in another world which is a nice step down from dream land.

*but lately it's been the Pile Driver that starts doing it's thing a block away from me at 7am while they upgrade the street there.

I use the great fairy fountain from old school Zelda (ocarina of time specifically) as my wake up alarm, as it’s very peaceful to wake to. But still nerdy. It went with Navi going “hey listen!” Every time I got a text ;)

Mostly I use my watch alarm tho, which is vibration that starts gentle and gets stronger, and that’s plenty.

If I get shocked awake I have a panic attack. I try to avoid that.
