How loud is Ring alarm siren?

The Ring Alarm base station can go up to 104dB of loudness, which can be adjusted. But if you think that this loudness is not enough then let me tell you, this loudness is comparable to any rock concert.

One month earlier, I went to a rock concert and after the concert, my ears were ringing. I was feeling as if the concert was still going on. This Ring alarm siren does the same, which makes the alarm more driven towards home security.

When you add Dome alarm system to Ring, it can add up the loudness to 95dB making the alarm loudness go by 200dB. This sound is equal to the sound that you hear from a subway train from a distance of 180 feet.

According to this article, published by Steven W. Smith, Ph.D, a human ear start feeling pain when the loudness reaches to 140dB. It is good to have a sound that can scare intruders.

But you must not damage your ears by this sound. It’s better to keep the siren sound to such a level that your ear can bear.

However, when you are going outside on a vacation or on holiday with your family, it’s better to keep your siren at the full. This will scare the intruders and keep your home safe even when you are not at home.

When you are going to have an Alarm system for your home, it should not be pleasant to the ears. Unless it is loud and irritating, it will not drag you out of your bed.

Using, Ring Alarm system, the company has shown how they can scare off the intruders just placing a 104dB siren in the device.

Why siren is a Good Security Add On for a house?

There was a time when I never thought of using an Alarm to secure my house. But a burglar attempt at my sister’s house changed my thinking. Only because she had alarm security, she was able to catch the intruder.

However, she should thank her neighbors who woke up with the sound of the alarm and caught the burglar.

Sirens have been used for years for many different purposes. In medical camps, it is used to warn others whereas in schools and colleges it is used for fire drill purposes. But a siren cannot warn us if it is not unpleasant to our ears.

Let’s understand this from an example. Suppose that you are a burglar or someone who saw something valuable in neighbor’s house and you go for it. You try to open the door or window and the siren goes off.

I don’t know, what you will do in this situation but if I would be at this place then it’s certain that I would run from there so fast nobody could see me. So, you must have understood, why adding a Ring alarm can be a good addition to our home security.

If you think that adding a Ring alarm can be good for your home, then I would personally recommend going for Ring Alarm system. I am using this alarm system in addition to Dome siren and it has helped us many times.

Besides, the system can keep intruders away from home, also animals. So, if you think that your neighborhood is not protected, then buying this device could be a great choice for you.

The Ring Alarm has become the best security system with the integration of Dome siren with the Z wave system. Like you, I also love my family and this device truly works for me in keeping my family protected.
