I used to have a 112 or close to that dB siren on the inside of my CRX when
I lived in Detroit. I had a bypass switch because I would actually
activate the alarm while driving in deer infested areas (there's a safe
driving tip). Sadly, I never had the opportunity to see what it would do
to a thief. 7 years, not a single attempt at breaking in... ;-)
Another tip would be to make your siren distinctive sounding. This would
apply more for a car siren because you hear them go off all the time. A
distinctive-sounding siren would immediately let you know if it was your
car or not. I assume you'd know if your garage was screaming....
