How Do Personal Alarms Work?

Personal alarms are a handheld personal safety device that produces a loud, unpleasant sound that draws immediate attention. You might be wondering, how do these devices work to deter a threat? The answer is quite simply because the extremely loud sound produced by the alarim will bring immediate attention to you from everyone within range of the alarm, which can be compared to an air raid siren.

When activated, Mace® Brand personal alarms produce a 130 decibel (dB) sound, which is the loudest available. The 130-dB level is the maximum sound emission level for personal alarms because anything more can cause permanent hearing damage.


How to Use Personal Alarms
You activate our Mace® Brand personal alarm with a simple press of the button on the front left corner. To deactivate the sound, press the button on the back. The alarms also have a built-in whistle that can be used to attract attention.

You should spend some time familiarizing yourself with your personal alarm, and always make sure you carry it with you when you are on the go. There is a clip on the alarm, so you can easily attach it to your keychain, purse, or backpack.

Mace® Brand personal alarms are user friendly, so people of all ages can feel comfortable carrying them. They’re a great way to feel prepared to protect yourself in unexpected situations.
