i used to own an alarm clock that made this typical alarm clock sound https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=77S70NhRoBc

i had it since i was 13 years old and i broke it a year and a half ago when i was 16, so i basically had it for 3 years straight, waking me up every morning. i eventually broke it on purpose to be late for school and have an excuse

i got a new alarm that's a lot softer. however, every time i hear that old alarm sound anywhere (i hear it in TV shows a lot and sometimes on commercials) i literally have a panic attack and get really loving scared.

discuss alarm clock noises that really put you in a stuffty mood



it's actually haunting you for killing it lmao

Seriously forget that sound I hear it everywhere on radios, tv, and films. It's probably the only time I'm unironically triggered. My heart starts racing and I start feeling short of breath.

sometimes i'll forget to turn off my alarm when i wake up before it in the morning and it'll scare the living stuff out of me when it goes off

it's like your ex that you see in public and always catches you off guard

my alarm clock noise doesnt bother me. but there's this timer my spanish teacher uses and it makes the same sound as my alarm. when that goes off i kind of jump in my seat

when alarms do their job too well


before i made this thread, i was watching an episode of adventure time which had a bird that sounded like that same alarm clock. i promptly turned the episode off and proceeded to have heartburn and shivers for the next 10 minutes until i made this thread

i still feel it what the forget

the ios alarm sound kinda pisses me off & makes me wanna throw my phone out the window, but I probably wouldn't say it gives me a "panic attack" lol
