I can think of little else more annoying than an alarm clock. That beating, rhythmic "EH....EH....EH..." has got to be one of the most recognized (and disliked) sounds in the world. I suppose it is so awful because of what it signifies: the start of the work day, a signal to get out of your warm, comfortable bed. It's rare that the alarm clock is a signal of something fantastic to come (save for when you're getting up to catch a plane to Disneyland when you're a kid!) Perhaps if we only heard the alarm sound when we got a massage, or were eating our favorite foods, or someone was handing us a check for a large sum of money we would behave like Pavlov's Dogs, salivating at the sound.
