    I don’t know what copehard or who Pete Smith is, but I’m pretty sure the alarm tones and voices are standardised across Australia. It’s the same one that the occasional uni and shopping centre evacuation videos posted on r/Melbourne had, and I’m pretty sure it’s the same one that was in the Bondi junction videos

        Nah don’t think so. This one was more like this (minus the “evacuate as directed”). But this one sounds like that dude

            I don’t hear the resemblance to the first one, only the second

              true, but I know who pete smith is and am very very familiar with his voice being of A Certain Age. The “Emergency!” is dead on petey

                Sure. The commercials you linked predate me by longer than I’ve been alive, and in any case I don’t pay much attention to people who are in commercials

                  the dude was pretty ubiquitous in the 80’s / 90’s. Even did a slew of stuff for Micallef - you couldn’t avoid him. He was everywhere. everywhere.

              It’s the old timie radio advertising voice. Clear and precise. John Deeks has a similar way.

              This is Pete Smith speaking.
