responsetomid-frequencysoundwheremostmechanicaldoorbellsoperate
andtominimizeresponsetoextremelyloworhighfrequencysounds.Also,
thedesiredsoundmustbepresentcontinuouslyforatleast2seconds.
This design reduces the response to door slams, vibration, normal music
andtalking,etc.Loudcontinuousnoisessuchasyellingchildrenorvery
