Incessant Beeping

The recent, brief, power outage has convinced me that consumer level uninterruptible power sources do not need to beep to inform me that they have lost mains power.

A beep or alarm to warn me that they're about to go dead would be fine, but an alert that the power is out in a home is superfluous.

Power out in a home is VERY noticeable!

But thanks, UPS, for beeping!  I totally missed the lights going out, the fan shutting off and the TV going blank.

The beeps are the real hero!
