    It's great that you're asking questions, but I do not wish to disclose the type of audible it is because I think that's unfair to the manufacturer. I was looking for comments about whether such an anomly could be attributed to sudden baromteric changes and that's all. I've emailed the manufacturer to ask their opinion and advice. The many suggestions that I change the battery are good ones. I'll change it after I hear from the manufacturer in case they'd like to take a look as it "as-is." It's only an audible and I trust it as much as an audible deserves to be trusted. It's not a life-saving piece of gear, it's just a nice reminder and I'm not stressed about it at all.

    A few others have commented that barometric changes can and do happen. From one day to another I understand that. I'm asking about a very sudden change from one load to another. I'll email the manufacturer of the audible involved to ask their opinion. Owned by Remi #?

    That was what I thought too. Owned by Remi #?

    Was the email really from them? It was probably just phish. Call them if you are worried. Owned by Remi #?

    Well, if you can show me where I said I didn't think it was expensive, I'll buy you a complete set of new gear and jump tickets for life. How's that? I asked why people complained about the expense. Owned by Remi #?

    The last jump I made my audible alarms all went off about 1500 feet higher than they were set for. I was filming someone tracking at 6000 when the first went off so I checked the ground and my wrist and shrugged it off. The alarm that should have gone off at 2500 went at 4000, and my dirt alert went off while I deployed (that was a creepy sound) Anyway. It was the third or fourth jump of the day and we left at about the same spot as the previous jumps but ended up a good half mile downwind of where we wanted to be on this load. Someone suggested that a big barometric pressure change / weather change might account for the audible acting this way and could have been accompanied by a big change in the speed of the uppers. Is my leg being pulled? Owned by Remi #?

    For those of you who complain that skydiving is expensive: I know that it's expensive compared to bowling but it's not that bad compared to a fews other "club" kinds of outdoor activities that many people participate in. Would you rather spend your weekends boating? Go find out how much it costs to buy a decent boat and then rent a slip for it somewhere. How much does a Harley cost these days? Owned by Remi #?
