Every person maintaining an outside audible alarm shall post a notice containing the names and telephone numbers of the persons to be notified in order to render repairs and service or secure the premises during any hour of the day or night in the event that the alarm is actuated. Such notice shall be posted near the alarm in such a position as to be legible from the ground level adjacent to the building where the alarm is located. The wording “police alarm-call Santa Clara County Sheriff's Department” shall be placed on the gong covers immediately below such alarm device. It is unlawful to install or use a police alarm system which upon activation emits a sound similar to sirens in use on public emergency vehicles or for public disaster warning purposes. All local exterior bells, gongs, noisemaking devices or pulsating lights shall have a timing device that will silence or turn off such devices or lights within ten minutes following initial activation.
