Controlling Sound Level- Electronic Method

From Mallory Sonalert Products, Inc.

For piezoelectric type audible alarms, the larger the voltage signal applied to the piezoelectric
transducer, the louder the sound level. This property can be used to electronically control the
sound level of these devices.
