For example, when any of these sounds occur in your space: fire alarm, smoke alarm, security alarm, civic alarm, running water, door knock, pet noise, or baby cry, record and share the 10 seconds sound clip with us. No fart sounds or any other weird sounds, please. For those sounds, we love to continue to it tune out!
