If you're looking for an alarm clock that will wake you up no matter what you're surroundings are like then the Screaming Meanie is just what you need. Described as an 'alarm timer' rather than a usual alarm clock, the Screaming Meanie will wake you up with its 110-decibel sound quality so that you'll never sleep through your alarm again.

If you're someone that often sleeps through the sound of an alarm or you like to go to bed wearing ear plugs, then the Screaming Meanie is just what you need to ensure that you wake up every morning without a fail. This incredibly loud alarm timer is designed so that consumers can set a timer for when they want to be woken up and have an [ear-shattering alarm](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/international-delight-cinnabon-alarm-clocks) go off. The volume comes in a wide variety of settings from "loud" to "frighteningly loud" so you can hear the beep even if you have ear plugs in.
