I really dont like the loud beeps are they can be heard outside on the street and so anyone who hears the alarm setting will know we are all out.
You are supposed to be able to hear the "beeps" outside, how else will you know if the alarm has set correctly?
If a contacted door came open as you were exiting the house & you had walked away & not heard it, when you arrived back, 1, 3, 5, 7hrs etc later it would still be sounding.
