Fire and Smoke Alarms with Lower Sounds?

The optimal sound and sound level for fire and smoke alarms has long been debated. The hope is that the right sound will be recognizable by building occupants and evoke the immediate desired response of evacuation.

This is because research over the last 20 years has shown that these low frequency alarms are more effective at waking sleeping occupants than the traditional alarm. In particular, the low frequency alarm is more effective for those in high-risk categories, such as children, elderly, those with hearing impairments, and those under the influence of alcohol.

When should I wear hearing protection?

By now, most people know that hearing protection can help prevent hearing loss. Especially if you are going to be around loud noises but how loud is too loud?

Since the average listener doesn’t carry around a sound level meter to check for dangerous decibel levels, you can tell if your hearing is in danger if you have to shout to be heard.

If the loud environment is temporary like a siren or jackhammer, try to create space between you and the noise or cover your ears (or both).

If you will be in a loud environment for a prolonged period of time, come prepared with hearing protection.
You’ll thank us later. Or actually, you may never see us at all. :)
