How loud is the Min/Max beeper on Fluke multimeters?

[fancy nospam tunes]

Fluke DMM's have a "new Min or Max reading" audible alert. Can this
alert/beep be heard across a dining room conversation?

Another question: Is the loudness of this alert the "same" on all
Fluke multimeter models?

The person who designed the first Fluke handheld meters had lousy hearing,
especially at high frequencies. Therefore, the beeper was designed for a
lower frequency than is customarily used, and sort of loud. Whether this
philosophy has continued into the latest designs, or not, I couldn't tell
you.

It may be loud because the meter is used in high noise background areas
like factories.

I would prefer loud over not so loud...I have some meters that no one
cannot hear the audible alerts in normal lab background noise levels.
