Can you set the nature sounds to wake you? Will they slowly get louder?

Yes you can wake to the sounds or the radio or a beeper. The wake-up sounds start at zero volume then slowly increase to a predetermined upper volume level. Then there is a snooze (with variable settings) or any button will turn the alarm off. There are a lot of complexities to all the features, but it's okay once you get used to it. I recommend this product.

I usually set my alarm to radio. If I wake up to one of the nature sounds, it gets louder, but I don't always wake up

Yes you can set it to the nature sounds to wake you and it will slowly get louder. There are three options to use for the alarm. Nature sounds, beeping and the radio all gradually get louder as they are on. You can set how loud you want it to get too.

I am not sure. I don't use the alarm/wake feature. I have it on through the night.

You can turn it up fairly loud. It definitely will keep snoring from being bothersome with a constant white noise. It is better than a fan.

I'm afraid not; there's no volume control. It's terribly loud, isn't it? I find that putting it under a pillow muffles it pretty well. I also keep it set on the doorbell chime rather than the William Tell Overture; for some reason it's less earsplitting to me.

Yes. You can increase and decrease the volume. It sounds like shhhh shhhh shhh. It's effective.

I suppose you can, you can turn off the sound and turn on vibrate. You can also dim the background so it's not distracting.

No , there is no sound at all . You can program it to come on in the early morning and turn off at afternoon or night .

On mine, the alarm on nature sounds goes very loud, very fast. Very annoying.

You can play the am or fm radio. or nature sounds, there are a lot of sounds to choose from, and you can mix two sounds, I find I use the radio most often, I have it set to fade to off in 30 minutes. I almost always fall asleep before I hear the radio fade. it's nice that it turns itself off, that way you never wake up later because the radio woke you up. you can have the nature sounds go off after 10 20 or 30 minutes, or run all night. The nature sounds seem seamless, I had a cheap one, and you could tell when they repeated. that would keep me awake, waiting for the repeat splice. The nature sounds are very high quality. They went to a lot of trouble to record authentic sounds. It is worth the money. there is no music combined with the nature sounds. I like the waves in Hawaii. there are sounds meant to put you to sleep, and other sounds to be used for meditation or relaxation. or to block other background noise.

I don't think you can set different sounds to dusk vs sunrise because you can't even set individual sounds to either of the two alarms. It's not a true dual alarm clock which is a big drawback for a clock at this price. I returned mine and got the model below it because even though you can download extra alarm sounds, the USB display and non-dual alarm option is wonky.

you can adjust the sensitivity. My son had trains running by his condo and the vibration would set it off. We just dialed down the sensitivity just enough to avoid tripping the alarm. So you will have to turn up your volumn to the loudest you would play it and then adjust the alarm. Better to have and not need than need and not have. Good luck

You can't. I was not happy to find that out. I am not happy with that non-option. The 3 sounds they do provide are not what I would typically use to try to wake. The charge port also broke on mine within days of buying it. I want to return it.

It does not come with built in nature sounds but will play them if you have them on your apple device that connects to it.

The gradual brightening of the light is the main feature of this, and I don't think you can only use the audible function. You can however, adjust the level of the light to very low. I like this product and use it as my main "alarm clock", however setting it is kind of a pain, I kept the instruction book so I can refer to it. You always set the clock in military time, so best to be familiar with that ! I love the bird sound audible function. A much nicer way to wake up than a loud beeping or buzzer. Good Luck!

Unfortunately no - the only suggestion I can make is: set the radio so that a loud static or hiss noise is produced and then hope you wake to that noise when the alarm goes off in the morning.

Yes, you can set the alarm to buzzer even though you are listening to the nature sound. In addition, this Sony clock radio has 2 sets of alarm (Alarm A and B) in which you may set to either Radio, Buzzer or Nature Sound. Ely

There are two settings. The low one is certainly audible, like white noise, but not disturbing. I would have no problem sleeping on the low setting. The high setting is fairly loud, but it provides quite a bit of air at distance and the noise is unavoidable.

There are FM radio and 2 wake up sounds. According to the Philips site: "The selected sound gradually increases in volume to your selected level." This would imply that the wake up sound is indeed selectable.
