What the hell is that noise in the city at the moment???

mystic86

Anyone?

monkeyfudge

Sounds like an air raid siren...

I'm out in Coolock and it seems to be coming from the city centre...

Sheridan

I was just going to post this. Sounds like a whooping air-raid siren, coming from the city centre. I'm in Ballymun.

electro.ie

Nuclear Fallout from Sellafield. Wake everyone up and head west.

monkeyfudge

Bah... the emergency guides they sent out said nothing about this... what do we do?

Is it time to start gouging each others eyeballs out yet?

ronbyrne2005

Can hear it here in Glasnevin. Might be coming from Airport ?

Overdraft

Can hear it here too....south Dublin :eek:

Is Willie O'Dea being woken as we speak?

Mary Harneys fridge alarm!

I'm relatively close to the airport and it definitely seems to be coming from the opposite direction (city centre.) Nothing on the 4 a.m. news just now...

You don't need to hear it... Tallaght is expendable in the event of a national disaster.

Its the Alarm from Dublin Port. Could be a fuel/oil emergency

It's global warming!!!

The microwaves and time machines crew have taken us back to 1941. Quick, alert everyone on the North Strand.

AlmightyCushion

It's just some scumbag in a corsa playing the latest dance tune.

You'd be lucky to get word of the Titanic going down on the 4am news.

monkeyfudge

The siren probably just melted.

Ceb

go on someone close this thread with an answer

Overheal

Now your up! Get some coffee and join me in some pseudo-study.

Probably UFOs tbh. Or Nazi's inside of UFOs.

When you fail, as you inevitably will, mention the siren in your appeal. If you need corroboration just quote this thread.

Sheridan

Do you think it's safe to put away the iodine tablets? I was just making some tea to wash them down.

dregin

Nah, I won't fail. It's just ****in annoying when I thought I was getting a good night's sleep.

Ceb

gotta love random noises

Overdraft

It sounded a bit like Bonnie Tyler. Is it safe to use the microwave now? I want to bake some cream crackers.

Hah. I suppose you have to attribute their popularity to marketing and misplaced hormones, because those are five of the ugliest saps you'll ever see.

Rob_the_cat

Any definite answer on this to help me get back to sleep?

I live near Croke Park, so could hear it loud and clear. Initially assumed it to be the Luftwaffe, space aliens, or a jailbreak at the Joy. Very bizarre.

Overdraft

Just listened to the 5.0 am bulletin on RTE. No news about the siren, their headline was news from the Middle East: Judas has let Jesus down a bagfull. Bastard.

sirens from 11 till 4 at night, what the story with that ?

i ugess maybe the heavy air we've been having the last few nights might account for the sound travelling when it normally doens't?

no, they only started about 5 minutes before I made the original post.

ah well i misread the other post that was from 2007

Sherifu

Zee Germans are coming...

DecentBee

So does anyone have any clues on this? I'm in Santry and I thought it was coming from the north, kind of suspected it was the airport or something. Pretty annoying, especially those few seconds where it went really high, thought my head was about to explode.

All these posts are from today. You made this post in the air raid thread...

lostexpectation wrote: »

ah most of this thread is from 2007

...then posted here an hour later with the same thing, after realising your 2007 mistake.

flanzer

I'm in Donaghmede and got up for a wizz at 2 am and couldn't get back to sleep til it stopped. I work in the airport and it wasn't the pre-crash alarm either. C'mon, someone put us out of our misery!

Well I think there is only one obvious explanation - Spider Babies. They have the body of a spider and the mind of a baby.

shakin

i heard it im on gardiner st sounded like it was from the port alright, or at least that direction.i checked the news alright myselfigenuinely thought it was something!

syklops

Some one ring joe duffy and ask what was it.

Its bad enough a siren goes off that can be heard all across the city and no one knows what it is. Its even worse when no one from the, and I use the term lightly, 'authorities' mentions it. Would it have killed them to release a short statement this morning? It started about 9 hours ago and is yet to be mentioned on the news. If an alarm went off in the middle of Baghdad they would get it from CNN and tell us with in minutes. When it is on our doorstep they do feck all.

A useless shower, the lot of them.

monkeyfudge

That's because it seems to only really have been heard on the North side of the city... RTÉ doesn't do the North side.

Even when they report from the Four Courts it's from the other side of the bridge.

Sherifu

Racists!!

Clearly the government testing the Zombie alarm. If they are prepared why wont the Boards admins help us to prepare by giving us our zombie survival forum.

I'm like a zombie at work thanks to that damn siren.

As we don't have air-raids here, I assume it was an ohsh!ttheeconomysfcuked siren. Timing could have been better.
