Not a fan of the word choice by that announcement. “There has been a fire alarm reported in the building.” Look there’s a fire alarm, there’s another, wow look at all those fire alarms.

[@hampton-roads-bus-guy]

i know it kinda annoys me. it should just say "a fire has been reported" or something along those lines

[@VOLTRONDEFENDER4440]

@@hampton-roads-bus-guy it was a drill! You stupid? If real it wouldn’t be fire alarm

[@alexcotterell2265]

At least they get your attention that there's an emergency in the building.

The other ones aren’t even that loud

Better than the advance horns that we all know make that very torturous sound.

0:23 this is hilarious because the sound is almost like someone being censored on television for swearing.

This is how fire alarms should sound. They should not be loud and anoying sort of like the horns.

[@joeycaridi3030]

They still need to be loud to get your attention but in a better form

[@testensford4403]

Well, This on chime, Which is normally in hospitals I’m not sure on this but I think NFPA 72 or somthing doesn’t allow that.

[@jeffreyfryar3905]

Yeah because nowadays, they have the general fire alarms that buzz, beep or screech really loud. They don’t have those ringing bell fire alarms anymore.

[@railgunsforlife8303]

The reason horns are typically more annoying than speakers is because horns uses piezo buzzers to generate the sound and piezo buzzers used in fire alarms are typically louder and higher pitched than speakers that are used in voice evacuation systems.

[@joeycaridi3030]

@@railgunsforlife8303 Some speakers are louder than most piezo buzzer horns as they're set on a very high volume like 120 dB where most piezo horns fall out at 90-100 dB to be heard over ambient noises in high noise environments where regular horns won't work for voice evac systems

[@dekelly7726]

This what my middle school fire Alarm sounded like. My hi school one only had one speaker that did a voice in the main commons area other than that it was just an annoying fire alarm all the way around

[@WALTY3D]

this alarm sounds like the one on wtc

[@michaelgatien4277]

This is what an advance should sound like Not the original buzzer sound which it’s sound is near deafening. The pitch of the code 3 tone is B Natural.

[@michaelgatien4277]

I have been under a few advances without hearing protectors and believe me, it’s not fun :(

[@michaelgatien4277]

Certainly much more comforting on the ears.

[@joeycaridi3030]

The pitch of that Code-3 tone is B-Natural 5 (The 5th octave of B at 1 Khz)

At my university where I go at to test out the fire alarms are the System Sensor SPSW speaker strobes.
