  • @ MrWill1985-yes most fire alarms (horn/strobes) do sound the same during tests and actual alarms. That was weird for me too when I was there listening to the fire alarm test, since in used to a hearing a basic fire alarm system testing. I'm glad I was there at the right time to record that fire alarm test. :-)

  • @whelenvortexr4: this was at the 55 E Monroe building at Monroe/Wabash

  • "Attention attention, this is only a test, please disregard all speakers and strobes"

  • This is an edwards system, not simplex =/

  • Thats what I though at first (EDWARDS), but when I asked the cheif engineer he said Simplex. But since you brought it to my attention I'll go to the Fire Panel my self when I get a chance and make sure what system it really is. Ill keep you posted. Thanks! :-)

  • IT'S THE FIRE ALARM SONG!

    Attention attention this is only a test/please disregard all speakers and strobes/

    XD

  • I know right! This would make a good add on to a club remix at the nightclubs. LOL :-)

see all

  • Hey everyone! I was thinking of building a shed sized house from mattresses and pillows etc then filming it burning to use as an advert saying 'test your fire alarm'. Do you think this is a good idea??

  • @mcguire1978 that would be awesome to do so. play that at a rave XD

  • Most horn/strobe alarms and bell alarms sound exactly the same even during a test. But with them an announcement gets made over the PA system before the testing starts so everyone knows to disregard the fire alarms. I honestly do not like fire alarm tests. The sound bothers my ears. I dont know about talking systems but bells and horns do bother my ears.

  • So the voice alarms announce if its a test? I never knew that. I thought it made the evacuation announcement even during a test. I know the horn alarms are exactly the same even during a test but most testings with fire alarms everyone is forwarned before it sounds so they know to disreguard any alarms they hear.

  • @mcguire1978 was this the sheraton in downtown chicago

  • Is there a messege like this? ATTENTION THIS IS A FIRE GET OUT NOW then WOOP WOOP WOOP
