Where should visible and audible trouble signals NOT be located?

Visible and audible trouble signals should not be located in the premises owner's dwelling's bedrooms to ensure the privacy and comfort of individuals in their personal spaces. Bedrooms are considered private areas where excessive noise or flashing lights from trouble signals can disrupt rest and sleep patterns, impacting the overall well-being of residents.

In contrast, hallways, common areas, and exterior exits are public or communal spaces where the presence of such signals is more appropriate. These locations benefit from visible and audible alarms as they help ensure safety and the prompt awareness of potential issues. In bedrooms, locating trouble alarms could lead to desensitization to alerts or create a stressful environment, counteracting their intended purpose of ensuring safety.
