Siren at 12pm in Ballsbridge

Hoping somebody knows what this is. I often hear a siren, like an air raid noise in Ballsbridge at about noon. Any ideas what this is? Thanks

I'd agree. The siren in rathmines does carry, I believe its just a test for emergencies/mobilisation

As mentioned, probably CBB. Once a week, it's the "everything's ok alarm".

I've always wondered that as well, I hear it in work on Baggot Street! It does sound like an air raid siren
