Smoke alarms typically emit a loud sound at a frequency range of around 3,000 to 4,000 Hz. This frequency range is designed to be highly effective in alerting individuals, as it can penetrate through ambient noise and is particularly effective in waking sleeping adults. Some alarms also incorporate lower frequencies (around 520 Hz) to better alert hard-of-hearing individuals.
