not currently but in the past I used jethro tulls solstice bells and kelpie.
Yeah, I use The Ecstacy of Gold from The Good, The Bad and The Ugly. It starts quietly and peacefully so doesn't startle me but builds to a crescendo which guarantees my awake attention.
This is an amazing choice. I just changed all my alarms.
I wake up to iPhone‘s disgusting alarm, but I shave listening to Slayer - Raining Blood
I use Your New Morning Alarm by Marc Rebillet
Yes, I use Teh Internets from the Super Meat Boy soundtrack.
“Just Us” by Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross
Seems like I'd condition myself to hate that song.
That's exactly what happens lol
Yup. I tried it because it sounded like a pleasant way to wake up. Instead I just started hating some of my favorite songs.
This.
Now I just have a generic alarm signal because I would like to keep enjoying the music I like
When I was in my teens I used Babe I'm Gonna Leave You, by Led Zeppelin as my alarm, over 15 years later and I can't help but feel like I'm being yanked out of dead sleep every time I hear it.

I use the radio, so that I don't get conditioned to hate one specific song, but still have something more pleasant than an alarm tone (which I'd also grow to hate)
My alarm for the longest time was Saku by DIR EN GREY
The office intro

I have others for other alarms. I set multiple so that I can gauge on who I want to be for the day.
sometimes I want to be Donnie Azoff, most the time I want to be almost unemployed.
I used to use the beginning of clutch's psychic warfare. The first track is some low murdering, and then it comes in hard with X-ray visions. Always woke me right up.
I also used slothrust's "like a child hiding behind your tombstone" for a while. That also starts a little quiet and then ramps up. Never hated the song, somehow. https://slothrust.bandcamp.com/track/like-a-child-hiding-behind-your-tombstone
Now I just have one of the default alarms and I kind of hate it.
"Rise and shine, Mr. Freeman. Rise and shine. Not that I wish to imply you have been sleeping on the job. No one is more deserving of a rest. And all the effort in the world would have gone to waste until... well, let's just say your hour has come again. The right man in the wrong place can make all the difference in the world. So, wake up, Mr. Freeman. Wake up and smell the ashes."
That followed by ‘marc rebillet - wake up’
been tryin'
to MEET you
mmm-mm-mm-mm
Nine Inch Nails - The Frail
A++ would wake up again
My body is now cursed, so 99% I wake up before my alarm.
I have created a perfect loop of “Picture this / I’m a bag of dicks / put me your lips” from the intro of Run The Jewels & DJ Shadow’s “Nobody Speak”
Concerning Hobbits. I picked it to try to set the tone for the day, and it usually works. I'm not a morning person so this is about as good as I can get.
For the first alarm, I use the default iPhone setting. For the second emergency alarm, I use Entombment of a Machine by Job For A Cowboy. I already wore that song out the better part of 20 years ago and it's guaranteed to wake you up every time
Yeah job for a cowboy would have me getting up to turn that shit off real fast
Lmao I wake up in a fucking rage any time I let it get that far
Luke Skywalker's theme from Star Wars: A New Hope.
We actually use a 90s clock radio that has a "radio alarm" feature! So we get whatever the radio station we last used is playing. It's nice.
-- Frost
I've done something similar, but I use home assistant to gradually increase the volume of the radio over the course of 10 minutes.
“Then put your little hand in mine, there ain’t no hill or mountain we can’t climb…babe…”
Vanessa Carlton's "A thousand miles", mostly for the piano part at the beginning.

Guiles' theme gets the blood coarsing straight away
No, right now I'm using the Star Trek TOS bosun's whistle.
The Sir Digby Chicken Caesar song
The To These Gods You Cannot Pray monologue from Hellblade
And if you really need to wake up, this sound effect can be very effective
I have a rotation of instrumental ambient playlists like Medieval Ambient and Dungeon Ambient. We're so used to them, it's strange not to have them when we're on vacation.
I used to, but it kinda ruined the song lmao. Everytime I heard it after that I felt alerted
