Thought for the Day

Why isn't the "test" noise on a fire alarm something that sounds more pleasant? You need to get so close to it to press the button, and then there's this ear-splitting beep at close range.

I always wear my shooting range muffs when testing mine.

I also use them for the lawn mower, blender and vaccuum, all of which are obnoviously noisy.
