What is sound the alarm?
In business, the pre-curser to "blowing the whistle" or "whistle blowing". Typically, it is the act of generating awareness to upper management of illegal or unethical activities being committed by senior leadership in a firm or corporation, without disclosure to the media.
Ex. "It was Doug's choice in sounding the alarm to the Board of Directors regarding the financial irregularities performed by the CFO".

Sound the alarm - what is it?
Releasing a loud, ripping fart immediately upon waking. Usually this is done while the farter is still half-asleep.
My college roommate would sound the alarm every morning around 6am.
