Sonic Bomb Alarm Clock

ThinkGeek :: Sonic Bomb Alarm Clock with Bed Shaker
"The Sonic Bomb Clock has an adjustable volume alarm with a maximum loudness of 113 decibels (just for reference, a jackhammer is about 100 decibels!) And the bed shaker does just that. Slip it under your mattress and your ears will bleed and your bed will shake, and there is no way you will oversleep."

Beyond the jackhammer reference let me further elaborate that 5 minutes at that level (assuming 113 dB is a calculated A-weighted sound power, which would equate to 105 dB(A) & 1m in a hemispherical space) would be enough to take you into the realms of hearing damage. I would strongly advise ageists using this at maximum level over extended periods.
