Well, as mentioned before the old forum closed, I watched the new episode of that a couple of weeks ago (or was it last week?) where they were all stuck in the girls’ dorm room because of that new germ the girl created and she accidentally spilled all the chemicals to make it. She calls the biohazard team, and when she asks what to do, they first tell her to evacuate the building (you don’t hear them say that though). So, she walks out into the hallway, and pulls the alarm (Edwards classic) and a slow whoop alarm goes off. It’s the exact same one in http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cLPFoiMesig this vid, except there was no other sounds other than the slow whoop, and yes, there was a pause before starting the whoop over again. I just wanted to watch it because the scenario on the promotions made the ep look really interesting - the fire alarm thing was just a bonus, I guess.
I just find it interesting that TV show people will use alarms in scenes, and yet, when they set them off, it doesn’t happen like it does in real life. Plus, most of the time, I find it when they shoot the alarms in the picture, it usually does go off later in the show…
