The conclusion Three modes, 125 dB at the top, thirty-one seconds that stop only when the window closes, batteries supplied with a thirteen-month life and a low-battery light — this is the best-specified siren on the shelf and the only one that lets the same sensor suit a cabinet and a pool gate. Thirty-four dollars for five is the most expensive per unit here and the extra buys real specification. No gap figure, no tamper detection, nothing about metal frames.
“Will alarm continuously for 31 seconds and will not stop until the window or door is closed”
3 LR44 button batteries supplied · normal life up to 13 months · low-battery indicator flashes
3M double-sided tape · recommended to install indoors
Pool, home, apartment, store, office, garage, RV, warehouse, hotel · sliding door/window, cabinet, drawer
No gap figure. No tamper detection. Nothing about metal frames.
Three hundred times the power of 90 dB
Which is what 125 against 90 means.
Decibels are logarithmic: ten more is ten times the power. Thirty-five more is
about three hundred, and roughly eleven times as loud to the ear.
Ninety decibels is a hairdryer through a closed door. A hundred and twenty-five
is painful in the room and audible across a garden.
For a pool gate, that is the point. For a bedroom cabinet it is too much — which
is why the three-mode switch is the real feature.
No other siren on this shelf offers a choice at all.
Thirty-one seconds, and then not stopping
Which closes a loophole most of this shelf leaves open.
Cheap alarms sound for a fixed period and reset. An intruder opens the window,
waits out the noise, and continues in silence.
SanJie states it runs for thirty-one seconds and will not stop until the opening
is closed. The only way to silence it is to undo what triggered it.
That is the correct design, and it is the only statement anywhere on this shelf
about what happens after the alarm starts.
Batteries in the box, and a figure
Which four of the seven here do not manage.
Three LR44 cells supplied. Up to thirteen months. A flashing light when low.
Three of the four 90 dB sirens on this shelf want AAA cells that are not
included, and none of them publishes a life.
Fifteen LR44s across five units is the cost at replacement time. They are cheap,
and they are not in the kitchen drawer.
And still no gap
Like six of the seven.
This shelf’s introduction calls it the specification that decides whether the thing
works on your window.
One listing on this shelf publishes a figure. This is not it.

Specifications
Modes
Three: 125 dB alarm, 100 dB alarm, and 100 dB chime sounding ding-dong twice — stated. It is the only three-mode unit on this shelf; the Philips alarm here offers off, chime or alarm, and the five others have one volume and no choice
Volume
125 dB at the top setting, stated — the loudest on this shelf, against 120 dB on the Philips and 90 dB on the three quietest units here. A 25 dB difference is roughly eighteen times the sound power
Trigger
Sounds continuously for 31 seconds and will not stop until the window or door is closed — stated. It is the only duration figure on this shelf, and the behavior matters: an alarm that resets itself after a fixed time can be waited out
Power
Three LR44 button cells, SUPPLIED, with a normal life of up to 13 months and a flashing indicator when low — stated. It is one of only two listings on this shelf with a battery life figure, and one of four where the cells are in the box
Type
A standalone alarm: the magnet separates, the unit sounds where it is fitted, and nothing is reported remotely. No app, no radio, no base station
Mounting
3M double-sided tape on the back, with the switch set after sticking. SanJie recommends installing indoors — the only placement advice on this shelf
Applications
Named for pools, homes, apartments, stores, offices, garages, RVs, warehouses and hotels, and stated to fit sliding doors and windows, cabinets and drawers — the widest stated application list here
Gap tolerance
Not published. This shelf's introduction calls it the specification that decides whether a sensor works at all, and one listing on this shelf publishes a figure
Tamper
Not published, as on every listing on this shelf

The questions we are asked
How much louder is 125 dB than 90 dB?
About three hundred times the sound power, and roughly eleven times as loud to the ear — decibels are logarithmic, so every ten adds a tenfold power increase. In practical terms, 90 dB is a loud hairdryer heard through a closed door, and 125 dB is painful in the same room and audible across a garden. For a pool gate or a front door that is the point. For a bedroom cabinet it is too much, which is exactly why the three-mode switch matters: 100 dB and a chime are the other two settings, and no other siren on this shelf offers a choice.
Why does the 31-second behavior matter?
Because it closes a loophole. Many cheap alarms sound for a fixed period and then reset themselves, which means an intruder can open the window, wait out the noise, and proceed in silence. SanJie states that the alarm runs for 31 seconds and will not stop until the window or door is closed — so the only way to silence it is to undo the opening, which is the correct design. It is the only timing figure published on this shelf, and the only statement anywhere here about what the alarm does after it starts.
Are LR44 cells a problem?
A mild one, and three of them is the trade for a thin body. LR44 button cells are cheap and widely sold, but they are not what is in the kitchen drawer, and three per unit across five units is fifteen cells at replacement time. In exchange the stated life is up to thirteen months with a flashing low-battery warning, and they come supplied — which three of the four 90 dB sirens on this shelf do not do with their AAA cells. The Philips four-pack on this shelf also uses LR44 and also supplies them.
