Used to use an alarm clock that was so loud I would wake up (I mean fully) before it went off!
The neighbors could hear it, and actually thought it was an alarm!
Course it was otherwise a hunk of junk, but still...
Personally I would test any such "super" clock at the store for the tone and pitch (and volume) of the alarm. The last several we've had have only been so so.
Typo king strikes again!
(Anyone know of an AUTOMATIC spell checker?)
