I was looking around youtube for some interesting sounds to blog about when I came across a video about annoying sounds, which made me think about the annoying sounds in my life, and my ALARM CLOCK came to mind!
I don’t know anyone who loves the sound of their alarm clock… and I don’t think anyone does! I mean who would like the sound of something that brings them back to life, the sound that pushes us to leave the warmth of our blankets, and the sound that tells us to wake up to another new day at school or work…seriously, now who likes that? I don’t. I hate the sound of my alarm clock so much that i cant bear to hear it anytime during the day, even if I’m awake. This cringing feeling creeps inside of me, and all these emotions that I feel every morning arise in me if I hear the sound of my alarm clock anytime, anywhere, awake or asleep. Now you might wonder why I would have to listen to my alarm clock during the day, ask my little brother who likes to play around with the cell in which is the alarm clock, which he sometimes uses to annoy me by playing it over and over again. I remember I was once walking outside, and there was a woman walking ahead of me and her phone rang…and you can guess what her ring tune was! Yes, it was the same exact ring tune that creates a cringing feeling inside of me and makes me wanna close my ears and run for shelter!
Anyhow, I realized at how amazing sound is, that the emotion you feel when hearing it kind of sticks with you every time you hear it again. Like a song you used to hear at a certain point in your life, and when hearing it again after a long time, all the memories and the emotions you felt way back then spring again.Its amazing how sound creates more than just a music to the ears. But yes, the sound of my alarm clock is still not that amazing, and I know it will never be!
