  • Countdown timers
  • Alarms and reminders
  • Count up/down feedback
  • Classroom tasks, workouts, or events

You can also use your own MP3 files from the web for unlimited sound options.

Sounds

Short sound work well for alerts, notifications, and quick feedback.  Click any sound to hear how it will play in one of our timers, alarm clocks, or counters.

Tip: Use short sounds like Beep, Bell, or Buzzer for precise timing.  They start quickly and are easy to recognize.
Repeat Vol   80%Stop

Tunes

Longer musical clips are great for alarms, transitions, or when you want something more noticeable.  Click any tune to hear how it will play in one of our timers, alarm clocks or counters.  Some will make you want to get up and dance like Cuban Piano 98s.

Tip: Tunes work best when you want a clear "event finished" signal, like the end of a timer or session.

How to Use These Sounds

All of these sounds are available directly inside our timers, alarm clocks, and counters.

  • Select a sound from the Sounds or Tunes list
  • Adjust volume to fit your environment
  • Use Repeat to see how the sound cycles
  • Pair short sounds with frequent events, and tunes with longer times

Or, Use Sounds From The Web

You're not limited to the built-in sounds.  You can link to any publicly accessible MP3 file.

Tips when using external sounds:

  • Some MP3 files include silence at the beginning or end, which can cause a slight delay
  • Short, trimmed audio files work best for precise timing
  • Make sure the file is hosted on a reliable server
  • The server must allow cross-origin access (CORS), or the sound may not play.
