Burglar Alarm

This article is about the alarm that is triggered when entering a house. For the home alarm item, see Home Alarm.

Occasionally, a house has a built-in burglar alarm that generates a loud siren noise when a player/zombie enters a house via the door or window. With default settings, about 10% of houses are alarmed. After a three second delay, the burglar alarm sounds for about twenty in-game minutes with a sound radius of about 600 tiles, which is over twice the distance that sound from a Sawed-off JS-2000 Shotgun will travel. Since zombies are attracted to sound, massive hordes of zombies will be attracted to the alarm's location.
