Vehicular audio waring is covered in UN regulation #28 and NHTSA (DOT) 812-209.

Fire alarm stuff can be found in UL1480 and CAN S525; and other stuff in 
UL464A, UL1971, CAN S526; but have no direct experience with application of 
these particular standards.

Subject: [PSES] Acoustic Warning - sound pressure level



​All,

I recall some time ago reading information on minimum sound pressure level for 
acoustic warning in noisy environments.  It was possibly in an IEC standard or 
a handbook making recommendations. As I recall the recommendation was something 
like warning bells, horns and klaxons should be 3 to 6 dB SPL above the ambient 
noise level in the immediate work area. If this is not possible or operators 
may be wearing hearing protection, then visual warnings should also be 
included.  

Can someone point me in the right direction?

Thanks,  Doug
