    I know we’re joking here, but if you leave an airlock open exposed to hard vacuum you’re not going to hear any kind of audio alerts because there’s no air to transmit the sound.

      sound will also transmit through the physical structure, so you can feel the vibrations if your touching walls.

      But if you really want to get pedantic… you’ll probably notice the whole choking-on-vacuum-thing first.

        We agree completely!

          Although, it probably is the stupid kind of shit Boeing would do. An audible alarm for “oh shit you have no air!”
