I always hit snooze on my alarm clock, but I jump right out of bed if I hear someone puking or gagging (e.g., kids or my dog).

    That’s a great idea. Maybe make it so you can load up as many customizable sounds as you like, and they randomly shuffle each time.

      We should compile a playlist.

      • jackhammer
      • air raid siren*
      • trumpet reveille
      • taiko drumming
      • “eagle” (i.e. hawk) cry
      • monkeys screeching
      • Woody fuckin Woodpecker laugh
      • applause
      • theme from Rawhide

      *maybe don’t use this one in tornado country. Don’t desensitize oneself to actual emergency warning tones.

        Here are some more ideas

        • A cat drops a vase on the floor, resulting in the sound of glass shattering and water splattering.
        • A burglar throws a brick through your living room window and proceeds to clear the rest of the glass with the barrel of a shotgun.
        • The washing machine upstairs starts leaking, the floor is completely flooded and water begins to seep from your ceiling.
        • A toaster catches fire, flames engulf the kitchen, molten plastic drips on the floor, burning furniture begins to crumble.
        • A squirrel sneaks in through an open window and finds a box of cereal in the kitchen. It chews the box open and makes a nest in there.

            Oh, you mean the sound of intense radiation roasting the paint off the walls for a few seconds, followed by a shock wave that shreds the entire building in a split second?

            Yeah, that should do the trick.

          • mice in walls
          • squirrel in ceiling
          • racoon in floor
          • elderly neighbors talking without hearing aids
          • pounding on the door
          • scratching at the door
