door bell for warehouse

[egginyourface]

evening all,

ive been asked to fit a bell for warehouse. I went to wholesaler and they gave me a fire alarm bell which runs on 24volts and a chunky 12 volt transfomer. I rigged it up temporarily and it didnt sound that great.

Is it bettter i use a 24 volt tranny

or

its horses for courses a warehouse could be 4mtrx5mtr or 400mtrx500mtr noise levels may comeinto it as well Cant you fit a car horn they are 12v

the warehouse isn't that big but has loads of compartments etc. The bell im replacing was supposed to be quite loud and it only worked on a little 12v tranny.

Whats the recommended db.

nothing recommended for door bells. it's not a fire alarm, is it? just get something to wake the buggers up.

would this work with any 12v tranny

bit of an overkill if you ask me.
