🐓 Free nature alarm sound
Rooster Alarm Sound
The original alarm clock. One loud, clear crow that your phone repeats until you get up.
The recording
A single rooster crow, about 2 seconds long, recorded close up with no farm noise around it. As an alarm, your phone plays it on repeat, so you get a very insistent rooster.
Recorded by BenjaminNelan and shared on Freesound as “Rooster Crow 1” under CC0: free to use for anything. We volume-matched it and made the phone files.
Who it’s for
Great for: Normal sleepers who want a natural sound that still cuts through.
Skip it if: You actually live on a farm.

Questions people ask
Why do roosters crow in the morning?
Roosters have an internal clock that makes them crow just before dawn, and they also crow when they hear other roosters or see light. They crow during the day too, just less.
Is a rooster a good alarm sound?
It is loud, high and sudden, so it wakes most people well, but it is also natural and short, so it feels less harsh than a beep.
