My husband and I installed the Kiddie smoke detector which allows us to record our voices calling out to our children in a brief, urgent call to each of them to awaken, alert the others and leave the house.

Years ago we heard a radio report which stated that even moreso than a beeping alarm, each of us responds more readily to someone calling out to us than to a repetitive or blaring sound which could easily become ambient noise. We had them about 7 feet apart, with the spoken-alarm being right outside of the oldest child’s bedroom door.
