Online alarm clock for 9:46 pm
Get ready now to check GeoNet notifications after the shake, so you are not scrambling when the alarm sounds at 9:46 pm. That leaves a short, useful window before 10:00 pm to put your phone within reach, settle somewhere safe, and decide what information you need to review. The alarm marks the moment to look, rather than relying on memory while you wait.
Because this reminder is tied to GeoNet notifications, check the sound setting before leaving the browser running. Silent mode may suppress what you expect to hear, so choose an audible volume and make a quick test if others nearby will not be disturbed. The alarm cannot alert you if its page is no longer open or the phone has gone to sleep; in that case, your planned notifications check could be missed.
After an evening shake, household noise can make a 9:46 pm signal easy to overlook: television, conversation, or people moving about may still be noticeable, then fade as 10:00 pm approaches. Keep the phone close enough that both sound and vibration are apparent, but avoid turning the alert so loud that it startles everyone. A distinct tone helps separate this reminder from ordinary background sounds.
Common questions
Will the alarm sound if I switch to another tab?
It can, as long as the alarm page stays open and the browser continues running. Device sleep, a flat battery, silent mode, blocked browser audio, or Bluetooth connected elsewhere may prevent you hearing it. Test the tone first and use a second alarm for anything consequential.
Does daylight saving change the alarm time?
The alarm follows the clock and time zone reported by your device. Clocks move forward in September and back in April, so confirm the displayed date and time after a change. Check overseas invitations carefully because other places may change clocks on different dates or not at all.
Can the alarm account for a public holiday or Matariki?
No. It sounds at the time you set and does not read school terms, regional anniversary days, Matariki dates, or public-holiday transport schedules. Check the relevant calendar and live operator timetable, particularly when a weekday service may be running less often.
Why might I not hear the alarm?
The tab may have been closed, the device may have slept or lost power, or audio may be muted, blocked, or routed to another speaker. Keep the page open, test browser permissions and volume, and use a separate dependable alarm if waking or meeting the time is critical.
