5 Minute Timer with Alarm Sound
This 5 minute timer with alarm is designed to alert you the moment your countdown reaches zero. No need to watch the screen — when 5 minutes is up, the alarm will play automatically through your speakers or headphones.
You can choose from four alarm types: a classic beep sequence, a mellow bell tone, a chime, or a buzzer. Use the Test button to preview any sound before starting your timer. All alarm sounds are generated using the Web Audio API — no external files or downloads required.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why can't I hear the alarm?
Make sure your device volume is turned up. The alarm uses the Web Audio API, which requires pressing Start first before playing sound. This is a browser security requirement.
Will the alarm play if I switch tabs?
The alarm sound will play through the browser even when the tab is in the background on most desktop browsers. Mobile browsers may restrict background audio — keep the tab visible for reliability.
Can I use this as a repeating alarm?
After the alarm goes off, simply press Reset and then Start again for another 5 minute cycle. This is great for interval training or repeated task timing.
