    Abstract: Disclosed herein is an improved aerosol assembly which may be used inverted and upright and which, when used in the inverted position, will automatically provide an audible signal that a predetermined amount of the container contents has been depleted. A valve body defining a hollow interior and a base has a hollow diptube operatively connected to the valve body interior and reaching at its lower end to the bottom of an associated aerosol container. A moveable valve stem is provided for placing the valve body interior in communication with the exterior of the aerosol container. A liquid level spray control is provided and defines a control opening positioned between the valve body base and the diptube lower end. The opening is positioned no closer to the valve body base than 20% of the distance between the base and the diptube lower end and no farther from the base than 80% of the distance between the base and the diptube lower end.
