What sort of alarm? Is lm_sensors reporting (via textual output) that
something is over threshhold, is is your PC now emitting an audible
alarm?

I believe that if you have threshholds set in the BIOS (eg. temp >70
Celsius) that lm_sensors can alert you to these threshholds being
exceeded. Have not tried this myself though.
