Should I expect people to come to my resuce if activated?

This will depend on the circumstances, although a personal alarm should never be considered something that would protect you from foolish behaviour such as walking in deserted dangerous unlit areas or places it's recommended not to visit alone or at night.

The personal alarms sold on this website are all at least 130dB in volume (louder than most house and car alarms which are typically around 115-120dB). It's an ear-piercing, high pitched, unpleasant sound. In a difficult situation you would hope to distract someone enough that you can run away/escape or cause them to do the same. You might also attract attention from people in the vicinity.
