Smoke Detector Audio

I recently purchased 2 SS smoke detectors, one for each floor of my residence. I was wondering if the sound emitted from the base station/auxiliary sirens was different when the smoke detector vs security sensors are triggered. If so, what does the smoke detector's audio sound like?

@unstoppablewaffle When the smoke sensor goes off, it will set off a distinctive siren sound from the base and smoke sensor itself. It sounds in short intervals and when you hear it,  you will defintitely remember it.  You can hit the test button and hear it as much as you want.

SS, customers have asked over many years what does x souund like, and of course, it has been requested many times a library of sound samples be put up in the Help Center in an easy to find location to listen to them all.  (Like when there is a water leak detected and the base starts talking to you...my wife's favorite when I do plumbing...:-)  If it's already there, my searches missed it.  Please get this done.

Finally, here is a link from a previous post reply I made with a suggested method to hear the smoke alarm yourself.
