The Loudest Alarm Clock

Alarm clocks are a popular way for waking up. They produce a loud abrupt sound that sends an "alarming" message to the brain, increase the adrenaline level and make us immediately alert. Although many people use their phones to wake up, those who are hard of hearing or are heavy sleepers often do not benefit from a regular alarm clock or a mobile phone alarm as they will not hear or be sufficiently disturbed by the sound of the alarm at all.

Very loud alarm clocks are not a novelty and a variety of models exists. They are particularly useful for people with a hearing problem that have difficulty hearing the standard alarm clocks. Many loud alarm clocks are also equipped with other helpful features such as vibrating pad for use under a pillow, bright flashing lights, etc. thus catering for a full set of stimuli for waking up.
