200% agree. The built in alarm options are useless. "Popup Notification" and "Email"?
If you had to write down a list of 1000 things that you associate with the word "alarm", a popup or an email would not even be on the list.
However, a loud audible sound would be #1.
Whenever I create an event that I absolutely must be reminded of, I always create an alarm for ~10-30min before the event. It's an annoying hassle, and I end up with dozens of alarms, but it works and really helps me to not forget events.
It always frustrated me that Google refused to implement this, even though they wrote GCal and the Android alarm app, and it probably would have taken one of their devs 30 minutes to link them together.
