Is a bell-only alarm still sufficient or would these be outdated at this point?

"A bell only alarm is still sufficient if your neighbours are willing to come check, other options are monitoring stations where they call you to let you know your alarm has gone off"

"Bell is been replaced by a sounder, & Integrated electronics.

The sound pitch is rated in decibels (dB)."
