Just read a report that changed how I think about glass break sensors

I was looking at a security study from a college in Florida that tested false alarms, and it said over 40% of glass break sensor calls were triggered by things like keys jingling or a dog barking, not actual breaking glass. I found it online while trying to figure out why a client kept getting false trips. Has anyone else seen data like this, and do you adjust your placement because of it?

Ever wonder if the sensor's own mounting bracket vibrating causes some of those false alarms?

Totally thought that was nuts until my own bracket came loose.
