The fire sirens from the fire department. It would be the still of the night. Windows open for the night breeze, when a block away the sire would go off: [b][big]BWAAAAAAAAAA!!![/big][/b] And then cycle 8 times. It must have been like 300 decibels loud, left me paralyzed in bed every time. In a day and age of pagers, cell phones and radios I would always ask, “What. The. Fuck!?” I doubt if that shit was really necessary. And yet, there it was.

@stratosranger They sound like an air raid siren, right? Surely a town would have some kind of ordinance against the siren being used at night?
Yeah it was like the damn world was ending! And no. No ordinance. They kicked that thing on or every emergency and at 12 noon and 6 in the evening. @SubstantialKick
