  This work describes the effects of L\'evy noise on a birhythmic van der Pol
like oscillator. Numerical simulations demonstrate that the noise induced
escapes from an attractor to another are not markedly different from escapes
between stable points in an ordinary potential, albeit the attractors are
separated by a barrier of a quasi (or pseudo) potential. However, some
differences appear, and are more pronounced when the L\'evy distribution index
is close to two.
