Re: Fire alarm is unbearable
Posted by me on 12/1/2008, 9:50 am, in reply to "Fire alarm is unbearable"
There are requirments that must be reached in high rise building and are a CODE requirment for Fire Alarms.
Like you I also am in a high-rise with a very loud fire alarm system that is be code to be checked EVERY month.
What I did was purchase "magnets" (if a speaker type horn) and put over the speaker. note I even multi-layered them (like a book) 
And if they come in your apartment just pull the magnets off (without any problems).
Hope it helps,
me
