Hi! Yes, you could say, "turn off" the alarm. You could also use the following:

stop
shut off
kill the alarm

I hope this helps.

If you want to show a character being shocked or frustrated with the alarm:
smacks the alarm, slams the buzzer, pounds "snooze". (I'm including more than just the verb here, obviously)

If you just want the alarm to just turn off:
stops, kills, ends, turns off (all followed by "the alarm" or "bane of sound sleep", or whatever terms you want to refer to it as)

Is that alarm in your house? If so you should know.

It sounds like a suspicious question from someone who calls himself a thug.

It depends on where the alarm went off. If it is in your friend's or siblings' room, you can shout: Stop that alarm!
If it is in your parents' room, you should use: "Turn off that alarm, please!"
If it is in your own room, you can say "Oh, shut up your face!"

You could use "Shut it off" or "make it stop" or "turn it off" is fine. Or you could just hit it several times with a baseball bat, that will make it stop.

Disengage. Turn off is ok as well.

"Turn off" would be fine.
