The front passenger seat in my car freaks out whenever it thinks there's a kid riding in it. Since I don't actually have a kid it's usually just a book bag or some groceries or something. A little flashing light comes on in the dash and the car beeps at me. I'm not sure what the light indicates or what actions I'm supposed to take in response to the beeps. They stop after a while, but it's usually pretty annoying and I have to put up with it because it's either that or relocate a week's worth of groceries to the back seat with one hand, while driving and without breaking the eggs. It happened again today, but this time it was actually not too bad because the beeps synchronized pretty well with the music I was listening to.
This gave me a great idea for a fire alarm that, before activating, would listen to see if there was any music playing and then blare in time with the main bass line. It would be a lot less jarring and make fleeing your burning home clutching a photo album and PC tower (really, most of the people I know have 80% of their life there) a much more pleasant experience.
An advanced model would listen to the music you played on a daily basis and then when a fire started it would play something thematically appropriate from your favorite genre. “We Didn't Start the Fire” by Billy Joel, “Ring of Fire” by Johnny Cash, and “Smoke on the Water” by Jimi Hendrix are three examples that spring immediately to mind.
This could be called the iFlee.
