Earbug alarm
Grind alarm clock to a fine powder, sprinkle with essence of mosquito, bake to a satisfying crunch | |
This is an iPod Nano-size alarm clock with a pair of
permanently-attached earbuds. The whole thing costs
only
$5.99, and has 50 alarm tones that play in a randomized
order. Each tone is the sound of a different insect in
your
ear.
The deluxe model costs 29.99, and has noise-cancelling
earbuds
to actually help you sleep.

[+] even though 50 seems unnecessary. Mosquito,
cricket, cicada, bumblebee, fly... The sound of a flying
insect's wings is all it would take for me. |

And the stereo sound effect of the bug flying around
your head would _really_ do the trick. |

Theres a kind of beetle that I encountered treeplanting that sounds like a helicopter taking off. Those things startled me a good number of times. They also survive being whacked out of mid air with a planting shovel. |

Are you sure you didn't encounter a grouse? Because you
just gave a pretty good description of a grouse.

Man, it would suck to have a grouse jammed in your ear. |
