Sure enough, I have tested it 3 nights in a row, and it has never actually been loud enough to wake me up.

This alarm might be OK for very light sleepers. But if you are a normal- to sound-sleeper, get a clock that takes AA or AAA batteries (plural), and thus has a reasonable chance of being loud.
