The audio begins with the piercing sound of a fire alarm, a high-pitched, repetitive blaring noise designed to alert and prompt immediate action. The alarm emits a sweep sound, a fluctuating tone that escalates and descends in a wave-like pattern, creating a sense of urgency. The setting is an office building, and this is evident in the characteristics of the sound. The alarm's sound reverberates sharply off the hard surfaces of the area, creating a powerful echo that amplifies the alert. This reverberation, or reverb, results in a spacious, atmospheric sound, making the alarm feel all-encompassing and impossible to ignore. The combination of the fire alarm, the sweep, and the reverb creates an intense, attention-demanding soundscape. The echo gives the impression of a large, open space, typical of an office building. The overall sensation is one of urgency and the pressing need to evacuate, which is the primary function of a fire alert sound
