Alarm sound: Sonic the Hedgehog drowning music.
Terror is already built in
I hate when they do it in movies and the character takes so long to wake up and turn it off. I can feel my blood pressure rise the longer it goes.
Our on-call software apparently causes iphones to play the same sound as an earthquake alert here in Japan. Coworkers have had some literal ptsd-like experi nces and gotten shocked reactions when it goes off in public (at least by default, the sound is on).
On Android I just get some piddly ‘ding’ I have to set to retrigger as it won’t even wake me up.
Some people don’t set their phones to vibrate?
A surprisingly large amount
Isn’t it amazing how we become so conditioned to specific sounds. Iphones have us trained like we were dogs
Wait, you can’t change your alarm tone in iOS?
But you don’t want to change your tones. Most people have separate ones for each type of set alert. Let’s you know what the alert is without looking
Dude you are in a coma, and we try to wake you up.
Especially when it is my on call helpdesk ring tone. I’ll instantly pull harder thousand yard stare than Cillian Murphy on my face.
That’s exactly why I set a custom, selfrecorded ringtone as my on call ringtone. I had used a default one prior, but after a few small heart attacks, it was a no brainer.
Najgorszą rzeczą jest sytuacja, gdy rozbiłeś ekran telefonu, próbując wyłączyć alarm, a teraz nie ma żadnej metody na wyłączenie alarmu Wrrrr….
My wake up alarm is the cuckoo clock.
Sometimes I hear a real one in public and you’re so right.
