The Reminder control panel from Now Up-To-Date 2.0 can handle this
quite nicely.  You must schedule the events (alarms) through the Now
UTD calendar, but Reminder allows you to edit individual event
information, change sounds (e.g. different sounds for each event),
etc.  It also supports recurring events, so in your example, if you
wanted to have an alarm for each hour of the day, with a different
sound for each alarm, you could make an event for each hour on day one
and have them recur each day after that.  I believe Now UTD runs about
$75-100 mail order.  It's one of the best calendar/schedulers I've
seen.
