I'm not sure how loud it is, but you may want to check out this alarm clock from thinkgeek.com.

Buy a 500W stereo with an alarm clock on it and set it at full volume. My nearly 10 year old stereo not even at max volume does a fine job of getting my ass out of bed in the morning. As long as you don't listen to some sissy crap.

Defiantly the solution, my alarm is my 475 watt system that’s pushing somewhere above 500w because I hooked up two extra 12' subs in a box from a car system in addition to the two 8' subs it has stock. Yeah shakes my whole house, windows, cabinet doors rattle. Even though it’s only stereo I use it for my pc sound, by god when something gets blown up in a game my neighbors a quarter of a mile away know. The best thing, in cod2 if a grenade blows up next to me, I actually go def for a while. (I live out in the middle of nowhere, no disturbing the peace, but no dsl either)

Don't know about loud, but try this. It was invented by a hot chick at MIT. She won an IgNobel for it.

Thanx guys for the posts,

yeah i thought of a stero and some speakers, but i haver a problem with getting to sleep with noises, and yes a hifi and speakers even when not playing music does my head in, clocky looks good, too bad it's not avaliable yet! dude, i think you ought to turn your system down a little, it's gonna really damage your hearings! if your neighboroughs a 1/4 mile away can hear it, god knows what your wife/girlfriend thinks!

I think I'll get two of those for the younger son.

For me, an alarm clock modified to deliver short bursts of 110V A/C to the thin skin between the toes seems to do the trick. Ever seen an old fat man dance like his feet are on fire?

Try attaching those electrodes to the scrotum to add that EXTRA jolt to your morning routine... :twisted:

Amazingly, my solution was to remove the radio from my alarm clock and install a buzzer calibrated to about 2kHz... Oh my... at about 70DB that can wake anyone up...

(2KHz is pretty close to the resonace of the human skull... )

Wake up like a Rambo FPS player....

Set your alarm for like 4:30AM.... then set your stereo to full volume and insert your "Sounds of War" disc and let er rip.

CHEEZball · Mar 16, 2006

the crappy thing is no matter how loud it is you'll eventually get used to it. I have that problem

I set my alarm clock across the room, it gets so annoying I can't sleep through it anymore and have to get up and turn it off, then your up!

ChipDeath · Mar 16, 2006

I ended up moving my alarm clock around every night, or I'd effectively turn it off in my sleep.

These days I simply don't use one. I wake up at around the proper time. Even if I need to get up early for a flight or something, I'll wake before the alarm goes off (I do set one for those occasions, just in case).

My subconscious obviously has a great sense of time. 8)

TurricaN_BEL_ · Mar 16, 2006

LOL :twisted: , you guys seem to have lotsa problems getting up..
I dont need an alarm at all , if my wife doesnt "wake" me up to do my duty in marriage then itll be my cat, begging for her "7 o Clock Breakfast" licking my face until I DO wake up.
Best black&white four pawed alarm you can wish for.

Anoobis · Mar 16, 2006

On a related note.

My friend told me that he and his girlfriend have separate alarm clocks because they had different work schedules. She used to tell him what time she was going to set her's to go off at. As a joke, on his days off he would set his to go off a few minutes before hers.

EXtreme-Gamer · Mar 16, 2006

I dont need an alarm to wake me on because when I was a small boy I used the alarm clock a lot and one Saturday mrning the****** thing woke me up because I forgot to turn it off because I slept at at like 1:30 a.m and it woke me up at 5:30A.M,you know what that means right ? I got so angry that I took the my baseball bat and I hit it so strong that it went outta my room and from that day I automatically wake up at 7:00 a.m for school if I sleep before 12:00p.m .I use a very low noise alarm that wakes me up directly but very peacefully

CHEEZball · Mar 16, 2006

lol my ex did that once...forgot to turn it off. He grabbed it and threw it across the room...forgetting he was laying down. It rebounded off the ceiling and wacked him in the face

so freaking funny...i woke up and nearly peed the bed!

Thanx again for all the post,

yeah the most interesting one has to be the 2hz one.... hmmm... won't recommend the shocking electrode one tho... still young, maybe alright when i turn 78... I THINK THE problem is that whatever i do i always find a way to defeat it, such as alarm clocks, great, but i'm so use to them nowadays i think i can automaticlly turn it off and unclick snooze even while i'm asleep! i need something that i can't control, such as a dominatrix girlfriend who takes no command and constantly carries a wipe and walks around in PVC and leather... if anyone have any ideas at all, however rediculous please let me know, cos being late for work is gonna get me fired soon!
