CONT

An audible indicator of radiation detection, typically in the form of beeping or clicking corresponding to one audible note for each radiation count detected ... While all of our models produce an audible output, not all Geiger counters do so. An audio indicator of radiation is strongly preferred because it frees the user from having to continually stare at the visual display of the meter.
