I believe ours are actually louder than standard residential alarms, which is what I was getting at. At least in all the houses I’ve been at with just regular standalone battery operated alarms, they aren’t anything as loud as ours. Although all of them going off at once probably doesn’t help

Thank you, my arm is feeling a lot better today. I thought I’d have a gnarly bruise, but it’s just a little red and that’s it.
