Doesn't this sound just chill you to the bones?

I don't know what I'd do if I heard that in the middle of the night. I'd probably start ****.

I'd be very confused, cos I live in the middle of nowhere.

That's the wrong type of siren you have in mind.

It works better when you set up the joke and let someone else say it .

Freaky. That sound always made me uneasy.

Finger nails scrapping a black board....shivers down my spine at the thought of it not to mention the feeling of scrapping your fingernails along the blackboard *shudder*

Sounds exactly like the avalanche sirens in Austrian Alps, you hear them all the time when there is heavy snowfall, you can hear them from miles away.

That sounds...unwise.

"Oh dear there's a chance of avalanche! Quickly, make the loudest noise we possibly can!"


Yes Overblood that was a little chilling. I can imagine people having nightmares filled with that sound for the rest of their lives after the blitz.

Fuck Hitler.

I will not they shoulda put a bit more variety between the siren and the all clear one. Like the all clear one could have been crazy frog or something. Annoying yet relieving, bittersweet

When I was in school (2003) the army barracks used to test their siren once a month. It was quite chilling and annoying to listen to, even if it was half a mile away. It even went off during the middle of our English paper 2 exam, but it didn't distract us too much though. The following day there were calls to the local equivalent of the Joe Duffy show about it...

It's a horrible sound.

I can't even begin to comprehend the feelings experienced by those who have actually heard it used for its intended purpose.

I would be terrified.. doesn't help that it's such an eerie sound.

Chills indeed.

It gives me goosebumps.
