We just got a cool email from a customer:

The somewhat randomized alarm really helps alleviate the sense of dread and anger that usually accompanies listening to an alarm, and the threat of the thing falling off the table helps me to get up just seconds before it’s set to run away.

We thought you would like to know why we chose to give Clocky the sound that he has. We wanted Clocky to talk.  For us, Clocky is not an inanimate thing that just beeps at you. Instead, we think of him as being expressive, and having character. We want him to make you laugh. That’s why we spent a lot of time engineering Clocky’s “language”. We worked hard to record a random set of pitches, tones, clicks and beeps and then program them to be spit out randomly.

We’re happy that all that hard work has been put to good use.

Check the video below to hear Clocky’s voice.
