Listen and download alarm tones

Below you will find a list of all standard alarm tones available on E2S alarm horn sounders. Many sounders offer up to 45 alarm tones and four stages as standard and bespoke tones can also be created and factory programmed into the devices.

Each product page details the number of alarm tones and stages available on the particular sounder.

Additionally, the Appello X range of next generation tone and voice alarms can record up to 2 minutes of content which can be played with or without the standard alarm tones. For more information about our tone and voice alarms, follow this link to view the Appello X range.

Listen to Evacuation Alarms Tones and Sounds


Evacuation sirens are used in many applications to provide a warning or notification of approaching danger, for example: tsunami warning, civil defence, tornado alert, toxic leaks, flood warnings and in a range of other emergency situations.

Many countries, such as Australia have a national ’evacuate tone’; the UK however does not. The relevant standard, BS 5839-1, merely states that the evacuate tone should contain frequencies within the range 500Hz to 1000Hz. However, for particular applications, such as offshore use, specific tones are defined. Known as “/information/pfeer-ukooa-guidelines”>PFEER– Prevention of Fire, Explosion and Emergency Response – as a minimum, there must be provision for three types of alarm on the installation or platform:

1. ‘Prepare for evacuation’ is a continuous constant amplitude signal with varying frequency of 1200Hz to 500Hz over one-second then repeated.

This alarm is tone 9 in the E2S alarm sounders, you can listen to the tone here:

T 9   1200/500Hz @ 1Hz – DIN / PFEER P.T.A.P.


2. ‘Toxic gas alarm’ is a constant 1000Hz tone reinforced where necessary with a red beacon or strobe.

This alarm is tone 37 in the E2S alarm sounders, you can listen to the tone here:

T 37   1000Hz Continuous – PFEER Toxic Gas

3. Other cases for alarm (Fire) is a 1000Hz, one-second on, one-second off tone reinforced where necessary with a yellow beacon or strobe.

This alarm is tone 45 in the E2S alarm sounders, you can listen to the tone here:

T 45   1KHz 1s on, 1s off Intermittent – PFEER Gen. Alarm
