Ahh what a nice button. So satisfying to push, with it's short throw and lovely metal on metal mechanical click when it's engaged. Engraved with permanent instructions, just a little too far below eye level. Nice tactile affordance. But my god, what a horrible sound to indicate that it's been pressed. Errrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr for 10 seconds. When did this sound become the standard sound for nearly every door in NYC?
