Just a couple minutes ago, my town's air raid siren went off. Reminded me I wanted to post a sample so people could get the gist. I kid, it's not an air raid but I thought it was the first time I heard it. What it is is our volunteer fire department's call siren. So when they get a call (or when they test it once a week) I hear this frightening siren. Those who grew up in tornado areas know exactly what I'm talking about. It's that siren... except it's a block away and it's meant to get the whole town. Check out this sample on Youtube.
That way, the whole town hears the siren, and the volunteers can respond from home. I have to admit, it's kinda charming... except not at 10pm.
