Answer: The alarm clock's buzzing startled the boys in their beds.

Explanation: Assuming that there is only one alarm clock, there should be an apostrophe! An apostrophe and an "s" indicates that something is either possessive or that there's a hidden "is" in the sentence. Here, the alarm clock is possessive of the buzzing sound that it's making!
