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.
