  4.22 In areas where patients can escape unaided and
  in non-patient access areas, the audibility of the
  alarm should be in accordance with BS 5839-1.
  
  4.23 Audible alarm devices should be provided in all
  areas of the premises. There should be careful siting
  of alarm devices so as to warn staff without undue
  disturbance to patients. To achieve this, the
  audibility of the general alarm in areas where
  patients require assistance to evacuate need only
  be typically in the range 45–55 dB(A), or 5 dB(A)
  above the notional noise level, whichever is greater.
  As far as possible, sound pressure levels in excess of
  this should be avoided.
  
  4.24 It is preferable that a large number of quieter
  sounders, rather than a few very loud sounders, be
  used to prevent noise levels in some areas becoming
  too loud.
