We stumbled upon an interesting maintenance control panel in the apartment building today. It has been beeping for several days. At first we figured it was probably related to the elevators, since they are frequently out of commission. But now it appears it has something to do with the security doors, or at a minimum is something the security guards check. There was a beeping sound and a yellow light flashing over a button that said "Trouble." That struck me as helpful. That's the sort of invaluable information you need. It's like when you try to start the car, and there's a problem, and the helpful indicator on the dashboard says, "Check engine," since normally when your car doesn't start your first assumption is that there's a problem with the trunk or the rear view mirror. Thanks to the dashboard light, you've pinpointed the problem. Modern cars are miraculous.
Anyway, there's another button on the control panel, but since the light wasn't flashing, I can't be sure what happens when this situation arises. But the button is labeled "Audible Silence." I've got to figure out a way to trigger this alarm, just to see what happens.
