I think the echo-y concrete ceilings and floors helped amplify the sound a bit.

​@@gentexguy Usually it does kinda the reason why we they don't really put horns in bathrooms anymore because of ceramics and how sounds bounce off of it. That said, obviously you want all your alarms working.

@@trevormacewan Yeah, and also NFPA 72 says that the alarms have to be 15dB louder than the average ambient noise in any given area. A bathroom isn't typically a very loud place with the exception of hand dryers, and those are usually only on for a brief period of time. But the alarms outside of a restroom are usually loud enough that they can be distinctly heard inside the restroom, which is why most only have strobes now. However, I have seen horn/strobes in larger restrooms with lots of traffic, but even those are probably set on low volume.

I went to Burleigh manner middle school which was built in the 1980s that had 892 and my elementary school (Northfield) had simplex 2903 light plates that school opened in 1977 and I went to two different high schools but there are plenty videos of both of those schools on my channel

We had Integrities in my old elementary school - crofton elementary school

My school has EST Integrity’s

@@ElyseHorvath 3:08 that’s my dad

Melissa please stop claiming all of my fire drills and real activations are your father I’m asking you nicely it’s starting to become annoying I don’t like telling my followers on here what to do normally I ignore but this is getting nutty

It dose

@@ElyseHorvath yes

Fred Smith ???

Damn right it's cool, but it's also loud.

@@ElyseHorvath these sound like a mallard

Trust me I'm reporting this to county code violations as well as metro (it's a metro owned garage)

Good one they better have integrity seems legit

tkefan29 Ha

@@ElyseHorvath Any updates?

There is other alarms too

Cute pfp!

My high school had those alarms. I think they sound cool.

It was just a false alarm!

@@CS8sirenwastaken Not really.

Integrity have always been a favorite of mine

@@ElyseHorvath my school has integrities on the outside of the building that do slow whoop

Clinton Township Lifts by MagicalLift256 are You sure they’re not Wheelock MT

@@ElyseHorvath LOL. The interior alarms are est Genesis speaker strobes on the ceiling which also do the same slow whoop tone

Ahh speakers that makes more sense lol

I found you again

Yes

The need to fix them

well since its most of the alarms that arent working, that tells me its not the alarms, its the wiring. something about the wiring in the system is incorrect

There used to be an elevator on the mall side of the garage as there was a bridge over to the mall

@@ElyseHorvath Interesting. I thought it was planned but never installed. Huntington and Largo both have unused elevator shafts in their garages. You've lived in the area for longer than me though so I believe you.

Yes sadly this was ripped out I remember riding it when I was little

Edwards (EST) integrity are rather common late 90s early 2000 alarms

Makes me NOT want to live in that complex.

@@jediskunk67 I would not want to live in an apartment with Est integrity horn strobes

It's metro owned nothing works lol

The key that you need is a CAT 45 EST key

As said in the video most are not working

@@ElyseHorvath they’re totaled

Us Canadians use them bells. My school has Edwards, Simplex, and Mircom bells and 2 Edwards integrity horn strobes.

The Star Trek whoop was popular in the US in the 90s. One of my schools was built in '99 and used Wheelock alarms set to that tone.

Well the principal’s need to tell that to the fire marshal when remodeling the schools and updating the fire alarm systems in the school buildings.

Thanks much! I like these better than system test videos as well because these are a genuine activation

I don't even think the one next to it was working, so it was only 1 working

Yikes ! That’s no good!

I know right!

It isn’t mine to reset or touch

Same here! Maybe 432 Hz.

PLEASE tell me what all the alarm tones are in notes??

Just depends. But you can have all notes in Music for each fire alarm tone. C-C including all flats and sharps. If you cannot tell I am a pianist and organist.

Pointing different ways in the garage

@@ElyseHorvath yeah but like there’s normally just one by itself, not two.

Integrity are rather common

@@ElyseHorvath my school has integrity’s all over the place and I heard them going off many times because of the drills and the alarm in my school sounds the same as the alarm in this parking garage.

Probably not it’s metro everything is broken

There is no fire someone pulled it I was aware of the situation

I know but just in case of real fire using elevators is unsafe

no duh

Someone pulled the fire alarm in 3:11

If you have the funds and permission to do that I don’t see why not

@@ElyseHorvath 3:14 you need a key to reset it

Most of the alarms in that garage don’t function

Huh? I ended up actually get 7258 who I showed in the video on the Q6 after I stopped filming

Its probably age and no matinence.

@EthanBlaisAlarms I noticed it too.

@EthanBlaisAlarms That's the joke.

@EthanBlaisAlarms that's the point...🤦‍♂️

Who knows I'm not here to speculate

@@ElyseHorvathyeah

@@ElyseHorvath and how do you always discover alarms? i only have once..

This would be my third time seeing an activated system

@@ElyseHorvath doesnet seem like there is much security around that.

Angled for all viewing angles within the parking garage doing it that way provides better coverage

I mean, he has a point

I never found the integrity to be too loud my other high school had them and my middle school had them in the 90s era addition

I always thought these EST integrity horns were the loudest ones due to their pitch. We had the rare “power saver” integrity horn strobes mixed with a few normal ones, and they were torture to my little ears whenever they decided to do a fire drill. While the ones at my high school (EST Genesis EG1) were still startling, they never had the same effect for me. The single worst thing about the integrity horn strobe was, they had a little noise from the strobe before the horn went off. (This seemed to be true with both the normal ones and the power savers.) When I heard this noise, I would reflexively move my hands toward my ears, and it sometimes even triggered a “duck for cover” Response as if someone kicked a ball and it flew right near my head. Unfortunately, this caused similar noises to trigger that reflex, so if I heard a little high pitched buzz, there was a good chance for many years afterwards that I would either jump, blink, move my hands toward my ears, or duck slightly.

If that one breaks and there was a fire it will not warn anyone

They are totaled

@@melissavandella7879 that system doesn't work so its out of code

@@vintagesimplexfirealarmsof6440 there totaled

If i had to guess, its a nac issue with the panel or something like that
