Something I've always felt strongly about in regard to this is fire alarms. There are many buildings in which fire alarms are ignored as a matter of course. I believe that in such a case having the fire alarms is worse than not having them, for two reasons. One is if you are trying to tell someone that there is a fire. You will pull the fire alarm and leave the building.
