TIL a trick for testing glass break sensors without making a huge noise

I was setting up a system in a quiet office and had to choose between using the test mode on the panel or just tapping the glass with a key. I went with the key tap on a small side window and it worked perfectly without setting off the main alarm. What's your go-to quiet test method for those tricky spots?

Try a coin, it works and is way quieter lol.

But how do you know the key tap was hard enough to actually test it?

Yeah, a coin is my go-to for that exact reason @verac40.
