Air Raid Siren

[Swastika]

Does anybody else think the British air raid sirens are very eiry to listen to?
They still go off around here every wednesday, over at the works and what not i think, to test them - but very quietly, but loud enough to still hear it.
It used to be every wednesday anyway, havn't heard them for a while now, im always in bed.

it was a good idea they used it, wouldn't make sense to use a jolly beat :L

They do sound strange. But I think it's simply because even today their sound symbolises danger which means you are compelled to be uneasy.

Yeah I have to agree with you there. I was going to set an air raid siren as my alarm once so it would wake me up, good old sound to hear now and again!

I'd forget it was my tone and absolutely die when it went off in the morning.

The start of the siren sounds very much like the start of the fire alarm at my work (which scares the living daylights out of me every time it goes off).

They are quite eerie and I can't imagine being in the position of hearing one back in the war days. Always praying to hear the all-clear again and not being sure to what you are going to witness when you leave

Yeah, if this ever went off for real i'd burst into tears lol - its so uneasing, that sound, its unreal.

this siren scares the **** out of me, i really hate hearing it

it's like a dementor no wat im sayin

They use the same sirens here when there's a tornado. It scares the living daylights out of me.

The sound is quite eery, I agree. It just doesn't sound right and sort of triggers some sort of fear that I don't understand. LOL
