About alarm sound effects
An alarm is any sound designed to break your attention, so it tends to be loud, high, repetitive or all three. The classic alarm clock is mechanical: a small hammer rattles between two bells and produces a frantic metallic ring. Digital clocks and phones replaced it with beeps and electronic tones, and buildings use horns or sweeping tones that carry through walls. In English an alarm goes off, rings, sounds or beeps, and people often write the electronic kind as beep beep. This set mixes both families, two bells and four electronic tones, so you can choose between an old-fashioned bedside clock and something that sounds like a machine.

Which one to pick
Bells: Wind Up Bell is a light tap on a small clock bell, and Classic Ring is a fuller two-tone strike. Both fit bedrooms, mornings and anything with a clock on screen.
Electronic: High Pitch Wail holds one piercing tone, the kind you hear in a warning or a lab emergency. Crescendo Build starts quiet and swells, so it sits well under a countdown. Chiptune Alarm is the 8-bit option for games.
Deep Thud is the odd one out, a single synthetic bass hit. Treat it as an alert accent or a hit on a reveal rather than a wake-up sound.
