An "alarm clock" is a small electronic device that makes a noise at a certain time to wake someone up: "Hunter sets his alarm clock for 6:00 every weekday, and for 8:30 each Saturday." Finally, a "smoke alarm" is a small electronic device that hangs on the ceiling and makes a loud noise if there is smoke from a fire: "If you hear a smoke alarm, run outside and call the fire department." |
