The last time I lived in a flat the guy downstairs got up at 6am and used an iPhone. I know that because I could hear his alarm through the floor. Couldn't have been anywhere near 60dB in my room, but it would wake me up every damn time. Oddly, even today I am absurdly sensitive to that awful Apple alarm sound.

Same! I will jump out of my seat if I hear it loud, sleeping or not. If it goes off anywhere on a bus or a plane, I hear it at very low volume. I'm glad they've (since) changed the defaults to less jarring sounds.
