  • Alarms are supposed to be scary and attention-grabbing. A fire alarm that sounded like a kitten softly purring wouldn't really have the effect it should have.

    • Well, I am not necessarily talking about that soft of a sound would do the trick either. I just feel as if the blaring horn sound it makes is way too loud. I hear noises a tad bit louder than average, because of Hyperacousis. I am thinking that the sound shouldn't be as loud as it is today. I completely see and understand your viewpoint, though. A sound right in the middle of the two extremities would be perfect.

    • My buildings fire alarm is really polite. "Can I have your attention please, the fire alarm has been set off please vacate the building" it gets actually more annoying than standard fire alarms. Which is the point.
