A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.

Alarm clocks would be more effective if the sound was someone puking or gagging. (lemmy.world)

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).

I fear the result would be slower reactions for the real event.

The sound has to rotate randomly.

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.

“eagle” (i.e. actual) cry

Because it would be funny.
