@wjrshepherd10 A cross between a horn and a buzzer. Look up "Wheelock 7002T" on YouTube and you'll see what I mean.

@TimothyOnline R they bells or buzzers.

I know how you feel I used to be terrified of the fire alarm at my elementary school! :/

My school had Wheelock 7002Ts; by the time I was in the fourth grade, I was absolutely terrified of school fire drills. Those horns would send an intense pang of fear that would rip through my chest.

@wjrshepherd10 I hear you. My school had Wheelock 7002Ts, and I used to be absolutely terrified of them going off during the school day. It was so bad that in fourth grade I would actually cry about it from time to time.

Luckily, all I have to deal with during school fire drills were 10" Standard single-stroke fire bells and Standard 6" time bells, and a Federal Signal STL-10 tornado siren which is on school property.

I also have my watch synced up with my high schools "bell" system. It is tied in with the p a system. We have a all simplex system. Unfortunately the school is being torn down, but I might get one of the panels from one of the 8 buildings. The panel is either a simplex 4002 or 4005.

I am a lot like you. I have autism and I have been TERRIFIED of the noise ever since kindergarten. The bells anyway. My high school isn't as bad. We have pulsing buzzer alarms. I still need to be notified about drills, but these alarms don't scare me nearly as much as the bells.

I dint hear any thing
At 4:02, those r not Simplex 2901-9332 bells. Those are 2901-9047.

@elevatortimes My mistake. The -9047 uses AC voltage, and the -9333 uses DC voltage. These bells obviously used AC, as they were replacing really old Edwards bells from 1957

@wileyk209zback Ok, so I got the bell today. Problem is that I tried my 18v converter, and it never worked. Only put the metal thing on the gong down once and it stayed like that. It has the 2 black wires on back. I think it is DC. Where can I get a DC converter from?

@elevatortimes What model number is yours? If it is DC, you can just use a couple of regular old 9-volt batteries! That's how I test my alarms

@elevatortimes Or maybe it is really a SINGLE-STROKE bell; not a vibrating one. The Single-stroke bells make one ding, and are often used for really old coded systems. Vibrating bells are the loud ringing kind

@MVRTA108 You're telling me! I have one of those in my alarm collection and it's the loudest fire alarm in my collection as of now!
At least it's not as bad as the 4040
