If
you are interested in getting a personal security alarm, it is important
to understand how these work and why they are so useful.
The first thing that should be understood is the loudness of these
alarms. The alarms are most effective when they are louder. If you are
being attacked, you want for the alarm to be loud enough to not only
scare off the potential attacker, but you also want it to be loud enough
so that others in the area will hear it and come outside or over to
see what all the noise is about.
Some people try to get alarms that are a bit more quiet in order to
not bother people if it is accidentally triggered. But the fact of the
matter is that you should think more about how the alarm will work in
an emergency situation than how it might work when accidentally set
off.
The best personal security alarm will be one that sounds a high-pitch
sound of higher than 100 decibels. This is so loud that it is impossible
to ignore. Ultimately, this is what you will want from your security
alarm.
