Playing Music Through Fire Alarms

Video about playing some music through fire alarm speakers

[Aderalls]

Imagine dying in a fire or whatever and all you hear is classic Kevin Macleod tunes coming out of the fire alarms lol

[wardrich]

All the sick songs in the free music library, and you started with the one PTSD triggering song lol

[Butterscotch_]

Surprisingly good speakers for a fire alarm

[FlynnAlek]

I absolutely love the fact that there are people THIS enthusiastic about something as unassuming as fire alarms

[coondogtheman]

Dang. For a speaker designed to sound a fire alarm sound these sound pretty good with music.

[OleBlue]

Something about the first song you chose playing through a fire alarm is absurdly funny to me for some reason

[PlatinumEagleStudios]

Rick roll the entire building with this. "Attention. Attention. An emergency has been reported in the building" Never Gonna Give You Up plays

[Garrus]

The fact that these Fire Alarms whose whole purpose is to warn people about a fire are capable of so much more is amazing!!! I didn't know they could do this!

A lot of Walmart stores have a system like this, except the speaker strobes look more like regular PA speakers with strobes slapped on the front. They play music and broadcast intercom announcements in standby mode, and immediately switch to a voice evac message during a fire (the strobes also start flashing when this happens of course). Speaker strobes are THE fire alarm, imo!

You know, “Scarlet Fire” won’t get you a copyright strike. Dankpods might send Australian ninjas after you though.

That unit mounted on the ceiling sounded unbelievably clear, even though the YouTube video. I had no idea fire alarms had such high quality speakers in them! Thanks for uploading this video too! This is something I've wondered about since I was a kid.

[BlaBoy]

Imagine there was a fire and the next thing you hear is free YouTube audio 😭

[elevatorfan_roblox]

You: chillin in your basement.
*editing music plays*
You: PARTY TIME

I love stumbling into the niche parts of YouTube! Dude has a dozen fire alarms wired into his home, all the equipment to run them properly, like 50 different wicked fire extenguishers and who knows what else! Hell yeah man, this is what YouTube was made for 😁

[TimeWisely]

> Building on fire
> All you can hear is sick music
That would honestly be funny if someone rigged their system to blast some song whilst it's going off, highly illegal though I bet.

The one in the suspended ceiling actually sounds REAL nice. I mean just for being a fire alarm speaker, actually decent bass response for what it is. Could you play music with specific frequencies, like 60hz, 70hz, 80hz, 50hz, ect. I still can't get over how good the suspended ceiling one sounds

[joeythefoxxo]

I saw these being used as an outdoor intercom and music system at a Walmart outdoor center. Pretty cool!

[swatprodev]

My interpretation of the music played:

First Song: "hello guys, in today's video we are going to be escaping from a fire" 2:09
Second Song: memes 3:33
Third Song: WE GETTIN 2016 NOSTALGIA WITH THIS ONE 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥4:40
Fourth Song: gamer intro 5:43
Fifth "Song": fire alarm vlog 6:56
Sixth Song: classical music 7:20

Your home meets the minimum number of fire extinguishers required. Ya, those alarm heads sounded great! Years ago I was given some old noise masking pendent speakers that hung above a drop ceiling in a store. All they did was play a noise (aka white noise). The speakers were inside of some cylinder thingie. I played music through a few and it sounded really strange. Hollow, resonations all over the place! Strictly midrange.

6:30, "I can also make announcements"
My first thought was "I have come to make an announcement..."

On a more serious note, this could also be used for testing purposes, by playing quiet safe music and walking around and checking if each speaker is working correctly
