Had a weird thing happen with a glass break detector last week

I installed a glass break detector in a customer's living room in Denver last Tuesday. They have these big windows facing the street, so I placed it right in the center of the room like usual. But the next day the customer called saying it kept going off every time their dog barked loudly near the window. I went back and tested it with a glass break simulator from 3 different spots. Turns out the detector was picking up the echo from the window frame vibrating, not actual breaking glass. I moved it closer to the ceiling and angled it away from the wall, and it's been fine for 5 days now. Has anyone else run into false alarms from room acoustics like this?

My simulators never set off anything except my neighbors' dogs somehow.

Yeah, sorry @thomas862, that's rough.
