    @Damocles you should have seen me I had them on in a few seconds and then LITERALLY RAN AWAY. It was an old system from an old home owner and should have been disabled prior. I also am taking NAC. Those alarms should be illegal adt? No one needs an alarm THAT LOUD

    Yeah, there's a shop across the road from my apartment that has one @Shelbylynn, and they are RIDICULOUSLY loud.

    Even across the road from me, with my apartment having all it's vents sealed and double-glazed windows, I still have to put my heavy duty ear defenders on while it's going off (usually for hours - because no one ever responds to alarms in London).

    Also agreed, they should be illegal. Noise-pollution isn't taken seriously enough. We recently had a debate in UK parliament about public sale of fireworks, which of course was dismissed; because rich as f*ck MPs who live in quiet mansions can't see any problem with dumbass kids setting off fireworks outside people's apartment windows and throwing them onto busy streets...

    To be honest, I wear earplugs everywhere outside of my home now because of having experienced things like this so much over the last 13 years.

    Anyway, good call with the 5 second deployment of ear defenders, and the running.

    @Exit some kind of overkill security system for folks that are way too paranoid about crime and usually live in neighborhoods with low crime rates anyways

    @Damocles thanks!all I could do, my parents just moved into this house and apparently the security system wasn’t properly dealt with before our arrival. So I was actually INSIDE not more than 20 feet away.

    @Damocles Life is full of loud surprises. I’ve been taking NAC and just finger crossing. I’ve been ok so far I know spikes can delay though. Luckily I haven’t experienced any pain or anything while my family said it was painful for them. Thanks to the muffs, likely knocked down the db to more tolerable. I think.

    @Damocles Thats crazy? People can just deploy fireworks kids no less? Isn’t that dangerous for everyone?
    I’m use my ear plugs a lot more now as well. Too much unpredictable stuff. Usually nothing this bad though. I always have Peltors in my bag

    @Shelbylynn thanks for reminding me about another big problem about my exit plans to Spain.
    Always been puzzled why Spanish clerks follow you around in a 1€ shop:))
    They don’t know we pay 150€ every night for every room in hotels? :D
    Take care of yourself <3
