Curious what kind of alarm/ringtone people are rocking. Gentle and subtle tunes or straight up horrible loud alarms?
Hello Goodbye ringtone chime for 20+ yrs solid now. Target tried to make it theirs for a quick min but that was short lived.
Disturbed - Down With the Sickness
Dude, we want to turn the alarm off not up!
Avengers theme ring tone. Captain America theme alarm.
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.
Just saw your comment after I left time with the same thing haha
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.
For a while I had Willem Dafoe’s “Haaaark! Hark, Triton” speech from The Lighthouse as my wake-up alarm. After a couple glorious weeks of startling awake to the curses of a crazed lighthouse keeper, my partner used the marital veto and I changed it back to the default gentle jingle. Haven’t messed with it since.
The OnePlus dynamic ringtone because I hate it: Youtube - Dynamic Ringtone
Southwest Airlines “Fasten your seatbelt” chime
Ringtone is some random one on the phone that is not default. I used to have the default but changed it after confusing someone else’s for mine.

Kind of a “ready to take on the world” thing happening.
Cuz, you got this!
This stock Nothing alarm tone , really like Nothing sounds so use them for everything !
The music that plays when Sonic the Hedgehog is drowning. I have never missed an alarm with that sound.
Effective, but I don’t think I could start my day with such existential dread…
I used to have Buddha Bar - Solitude as my alarm, but after a month or so I found myself associating it with waking up and it lost its calming effect on my morning. I’ve since resorted back to whatever my phone defaults to for minimum damage to sounds I like.
My alarm is just the default android one, but my text tone is the windows XP fatal error sound.
