These people are documenting the history of an important part of our infrastructure. One video from a channel in this community documented a 1970s home security system as he was contracted to remove it. It’s super fascinating learning how these things function and watching them be tested. Such content can also help a person get over fear of alarms!

I fear alarms because they hurt. It’s not like Spiders where learning more helps. I’ve been hurt by alarms hundreds of times in my life. Learning more isn’t going to help me fear them less.

How are you hurt by alarms? Noise, high voltage, the fear of the things they indicate, or something else? legitimately curious, never heard of this phobia before

Autism. Too loud. Hurts. I’m very slow to evacuate because I always need to take the time to put in my nose cancelling earbuds so I can evacuate safely. If the alarm were quieter, it wouldn’t hurt as much
