@djkid9 Actually you'd be surprised there are people here on IUP's campus that haven't heard of that. Someone was complaining about how loud the fire alarms were in her dorm and I said "Tell me about it I'd rather have the ones that talk." and her reaction was "They have talking fire alarms?"
They have one of these systems at the International Exposition (IX) Center in Cleveland, Ohio. The only difference: it uses 4 loudspeakers and a strobe light mechanism hung from the ceiling. The entire mechanism is roughly the size of a car hood and it's 40 times louder than this! Thank you for posting this! The alarm went off during a car show there and scared the effin daylights out of me and I had to find out who made this alarm!
@gibben100 That is not a person who gets paid that is a pre-recorded message it is called Voice Evacuation All the major fire alarm companies have them with different messages according to the job they are being use for. It's connected to the main fire alarm panel in that case it's programmed to do 3 rounds of a code-3 buzzer then the message plays and it starts over but again what tone it makes and what message it plays varies from setup to setup
The rest of the school not attached to the auditorium does the same thing, but one time when I was near the office, I found out the lights would flash like crazy.
@thevisualboy37 sounds like your school has a system with the panel set to continuous horn meaning it's one ong AHHHHHHHHHHHH. Non-voice evac systems can be set to sound the horns in different ways the 3 most common are continuous which is what you have, code-3 which is what this is sans the voice and marchtime which would be a buzz in a set number of beats per minute
that is a wheelock voice evacuation system. the reason why its able to talk is because the alarm is a amplified speaker with a strobe light (speaker/strobe).
The one at my old school spoke, but it said:
"This is the fire alarm. Please make your way to the nearest exit as soon as possible." repeatedly.
Apparently it also squirts water, but I never experienced it doing that.

@Gb755c Actually, I have learned a lot more about fire alarms since posting that comment.
But yes, you're right. Now I wish we had marchtime. It's actually a cool-sounding alarm.
