After doing some research, we found a video which shows a way that we would be able to get our idea to work. This research came after doing some basic breadboarding, and we wanted to expand our knowledge on this type of circuit.
The video in the link below shows the reed switch in action, with two magnets used to control whether the light turns on or off. The only difference with ours would be that we would use a sound buzzer, rather than an LED light.
The video shows how when one magnet is moved closer to the other magnet/reed switch, the light (in our case buzzer) turns off. This would be perfect for when the magnet in the ball is placed back on top of the alarm clock (which would have the circuit, reed switch, and other magnet inside of it).
