I have been wondering which horns are the more favorite in the fire alarm enthusiast world. They both have pros and cons to them, so I felt the need to ask this. So which do you think: Vibratones or Pezio horns?
To help explain:
Vibratones make a low pitched sound. They suck a ton of power from the system when in alarm.

Pezio horns make a high pitched screeching sound. Some people with hearing disfunctions (meaning they can only hear certain pitches of sound) can’t hear them.

Most enthusiasts (including myself) also prefer the richer sound of electromechanical horns. Of course, electronic horns are superior in technology with less current draw, selectable codings/tones, and a lower failure rate. They’ve been the standard for new installations for about 20 years.

Studies have shown that lower frequencies are better at waking people up in sleeping areas, so System Sensor is now marketing a line of low frequency sounders.
