Just like the title asks, how loud are those panel mount LED alarm buzzers? I am looking to move into the basement and have bedrooms over my future brewing space. Would hate to wake the wife and kids.
If you go to 10:50 of my video, you can hear it running. That wont tell you exactly how loud it is, but may give you an idea of what to expect. Most control panels have the ability to disable the alarm, so you may want to include this in your panel.
