There are some mornings that you just can’t seem to pull yourself out of bed. The alarm clock you put on the other side of the room isn’t even high-powered enough to bring you out of your morning fog. For those of us where this is a daily occurrence, you may want to seek out something with a little more oomph. The Sonic Bomb Alarm Clock is sure to jolt you awake faster than the promise of a breakfast of steak and bacon.
This little land mine of an alarm has a maximum loudness of 113dB, which is on par with a chainsaw or a jackhammer. If you ever had to hit this point, you could face hearing loss and several noise complaints from your neighbors. If sound alone can’t stir you, then the red LEDs and vibrating pad that could shake your pillow just might. This $35 alarm is a little overkill in my opinion, but if you just can’t wake up in the mornings, this can be used as a last resort.
The Lifetone HL-150 is louder than the Sonic Bomb, produces a much lower frequency alarm sound which is scientifically-proven to be more effective for awakening and has 7-days of battery backup for the audio and bed shaker alarms.
