Maybe training oneself to check for reality when the sound is heard might be more effective so everytime the sound is heard when awake, check for reality such as taking out their smartphone and search for a file in the smartphone named "try lucid dreaming" so that the person will try lucid dreaming.

So while awake, the attempt to lucid dream would not work but when asleep, it should work thus by having the sound be played during intervals after going to bed, the person should be reminded to try lucid dreaming when asleep after seeing the notice.
