Does this sentence show the correct use of modifiers startled by the noise the alarm clock was knocked to the floor?

Both examples need commas after their modifiers, as well as some other punctuation that isn't currently allowed in Wiki questions. Other than that, the first example is correct. It implies that you were standing on the chair, which is a reasonable action for you to take when you want to reach something high. The second example is incorrect. It implies that the alarm clock was startled by its own noise. It's more likely that the person who knocked the alarm clock onto the floor was startled. Example #2 correction: Startled by the noise, I (he/she/etc.) knocked the alarm clock onto the floor.
