There are many different types of alarm clocks available, from soothing music to awaken a light sleeper, to one that will literally shake the bed and make a very loud sound to awaken that heavy sleeper. Those who are fortunate enough to be awakened by very soothing music will have no need to read this article unless, of course, you need a good laugh. Enter the aptly named sonic boom alarm clock, and no, we aren’t kidding. I’ve heard some individuals say that the first time they used this alarm clock, they thought a jet plane broke the sound barrier over their house. 

When most of us were very young, the quiet alarm on our wrist watch was loud enough to wake us up, most of the time. However, as we got older, and our hearing, as well as our sleeping habits changed, that quiet sound just didn’t do it any more. The sonic boom alarm clock was made for the hard of hearing and those of us who just hate to get up in the morning. This innovative clock has two modes of operation…an audible sound as well as a vibration mode, and you have the option of using either one or both. (The latter is the best for individuals like me)  

The audible mode has a volume control as well as a setting for the pitch. There are some individuals that have a hard time hearing certain frequencies, say for instance, a very high pitch, which is my problem. Setting the pitch control about mid range works very well as long as the volume is fairly high. This unique and innovative feature gives every user a choice to set the alarm to suit their own personal requirements. 

I would caution all users to try the clock at the lower setting first for the volume control. This clock can get very LOUD, however, there are some that will need this. After all, it’s not named a sonic boom alarm clock for nothing! Most users find that they almost never need a setting higher than 5, which is quite loud. For the vibration mode, the clock comes with an included small round white pod, about four inches in diameter. It has an attached sturdy cord that plugs into the clock, and you can place the pod under your pillow. Some individuals have placed the pod under their mattress, and the vibration is strong enough to awaken you. 

Another benefit of this progressive sonic boom alarm clock is that you can take it with you when you travel. No need to use a hotel’s clock radio that may not awaken you, or even the undependable wake up service on the phone. Simply plug your clock into the wall outlet and use the settings that you use at home. Should the power go out, there is a backup battery system that will activate automatically. 

This sonic boom alarm clock can work wonders in your life, especially if you have a spouse, or even a teenager, that is difficult to wake up every morning. No longer do you have to shake them, or as some do, grab a leg and literally drag them out of bed onto the floor. Don’t go through that hassle any longer! Order one or more of this fantastic sonic boom alarm clock, and put that morning aggravation behind you.
