Why might an exterior siren be considered problematic in many cases?

An exterior siren can be considered problematic primarily because it can create disturbances in the surrounding environment, thus becoming a nuisance. Sounding an alarm loudly may lead to complaints from residents or businesses nearby, as they may find the noise disruptive. Additionally, many local laws and regulations may impose restrictions on the use of such alarms to prevent noise pollution, making compliance difficult for businesses and homeowners. Therefore, the challenges associated with installation and ongoing use in compliance with local regulations contribute to the perception of exterior sirens as problematic. This consideration highlights the balance that must be struck between security measures and community impact.
