Funny Alarm Sounds

Mornings are hard enough. Wake up to a duck yelling at you instead. These are real recordings of silly sounds, and some are surprisingly loud. They also make great alarms to send to a friend. 😈

How we picked these sounds
  • Actually funny: every sound is one that makes most people laugh (or at least smile) half asleep.
  • Real recordings: real animals and real toys, recorded and shared free on Freesound.
  • Some are strong: the dog bark, the slide whistle and the rubber chicken are among the loudest sounds in our library.
  • Tip: short sounds repeat as an alarm. A one-second meow on repeat is funnier (and more annoying) than it sounds.

    One meow (repeats) Β· Full volume right away

    Boing! (repeats) Β· Full volume right away

    0:02

    A jaw-harp "boing" straight out of a cartoon. Repeated as an alarm, it is ridiculous, and that is the charm.

Questions people ask

What is the funniest alarm sound?

It depends on your sense of humor, but a duck quacking or a squeaky rubber chicken on repeat at 6 AM is hard to beat. For pure cartoon energy, try the boing.

Do funny alarm sounds actually wake you up?

Many do. Odd sounds grab attention because they don’t belong in your bedroom, and some, like the dog bark, are loud. For heavy sleepers, use a funny sound plus a louder backup.

Can I send a funny alarm to a friend?

Yes. With PingPal you can pick any sound file and send it to a friend’s phone as their alarm. They send proof they’re awake.
