Has anyone had glass / mirror / window shatter after the alarm went off?

Need to know this because I am trying to put the base station near a giant mirror or something, can't determine how much decibels would shatter the mirror.

While anything is possible given the huge variation in materials and construction of various glass objects, no one has reported this. I don't know the physics behind this but I seriously doubt this would happen. I would think it requires a strong single tone of exactly the right frequency to cause shattering to occur and the siren, to my ears, doesn't create a single frequency, whether by design or the limitations of the speaker.

Thanks for the reply jguerdat.

I just hope that I am not the first lol. The alarm sounded pretty strong while I was next to it (scared the **bleep** out of me the first time when I turned it on to test)

Guess I will just have to try this out to find out.
