alarm call
Hotel morning service
An alarm call is a wake-up call from a hotel's front desk, scheduled to ring your room at a specified time.
The term also describes warning cries that animals make to alert others to danger—a bird's shriek when a predator approaches, a prairie dog's bark signaling a hawk overhead: The jay's alarm call sent the smaller birds scattering.
