I just made a batch of muffins. I then tried to "Get Muffins". I get an empty muffin tin, but no actual muffins appear and the tin with the baked muffins remains in inventory. Only thing that changes was the "Hunger" level dropped by a couple of points.
Not tested the house alarm.
I can confirm it's not just watch bags though, but Zomboid sounds too.
My guess is that sounds in general coming from the south-southeast quadrant relative to the player character's circle of hearing have an incorrect attenuation/volume.
