Ever since PocketPC forced me to use the very same sound for ALL my alarms (Plm-sizedPC allowed me to choose a different WAV file for EVERY alarm), I've had to prepare my own alarm made with 2 sequences: a short music that plays 3 times with increasing volume then followed by a foghorn type sound repeated 5 times.
The whole alarm is quiet enough to ring in a library and not disturb people around me (first low volume iteration of soft music), I can wake up to it without waking up the dead (before the foghorn that is), yet the second phase is loud enough so I can hear the alarm when I'm in the middle of a busy street with a winter coat on, like is the case here and now. Plus I have my PPC in a case and tucked in my pants pocket.
Regular PPC alarms are absolutely impossible to hear in the 3rd situation and probably don't sound long enough to wake me up, especially when I use earplugs once in a while.
So from time to time I like to watch for ringtones to see if I can update my alarm file with new stuff.
