abstract="Measurements on the alarm sound distribution in nine apartment buildings showed that if adequate awakening potential is to be provided for sleeping residents, an alarm sounding device must be located within each apartment. Information on the minimum sound level necessary to awaken such a sleeping person is also given. A procedure that can be used to determine sound attenuation within apartment buildings is presented. Examples to demonstrate such a procedure are provided.<p />",
