What is WakeUpSounds?
WakeUpSounds is a free collection of alarm sounds and simple tools for better mornings. You can download a sound as MP3 or M4R and set it as your phone's alarm or ringtone. You can also run an alarm in your browser, or use the sleep calculator to choose a bedtime. No account is needed.
What is on WakeUpSounds?

How are the sounds made?
The 18 downloadable sounds were synthesized for WakeUpSounds from generated tones, noise, envelopes and simple effects. The nature-inspired sounds are synthetic interpretations, not field recordings. The 16 browser alarm sounds are generated live in your browser by our own code. If you pick your own audio file for the browser alarm, it plays only on your device and is never uploaded. See sound usage and credits.
