Amber Alert

[Barbiiee2992]

my amber alert is alot creepier, it sounds like a phone off the hook or a fax being sent.

[zeotrio]

the amber alert sound goes like arkkkkkkk

[zeotrio]

this isnt the amber alert sound

[MissyFlesky123]

SCARY!

[bloodynoris]

THAT'S EXACTLY WAT I DO!

[GinghamSpaniels]

I'm glad they don't have this here in the UK, but only because I'd scream every time this sound played.

[Sonicisawesomeman]

my below comment was at Biorumbler265.

[Sonicisawesomeman]

An AMBER Alert or a Child Abduction Emergency (SAME code: CAE) is a child abduction alert bulletin in several countries throughout the world, issued upon the suspected abduction of a child, since 1996. it is named after Amber Hagerman who was abducted while riding her bike in Arlington, Texas. When they found she was alread long dead. If they had something like the AMBER alert, they might have found her before she was killed.

[Biorumbler265]

what is amber alert?

[CheatsythePimp2]

Sounds like when Link encounters a boss or at least a miniboss.

[harrisshaye97]

WOAH...

[randomandpointless]

these things scare me...

[TheZoo90100]

@ThomasUnivers01 me too when i was a kid

[MwahLynx]

Ugh me too -_-

[AndersonFamily12]

EVERYBODY Search ALERT ENLEVEMENT its scarier than the american one

[exa121RETURNS]

Yeah it's either this or the also annoying ERRR ERRR BEEEEP sound (Emergency Alert System) that can transmit some AMBER alerts.

[deltaalpha21074]

Never hear of some AMBER ALERT FOR COPS...just in!! Two Police abducted hands blown off by 10 armed Soldiers with M-60s before they could even draw a gun hog tied with chains thrown into a what appears to be a CHinook helicopter and wisked off to TIajuana..? Now that would be cool to see huh?

[OneLaggyMofo]

I hate this sound. I usually listen to the radio when I sleep, but when the amber alert was issued, it scared the living hell out of me. EVERYTIME. i had to turn off the radio :(

[LynaForever]

Listen the french version "Alerte Enlevement" ! It's scarier than this one ! Wrote in the search case "French Amber Alert" or "Alerte enlevement Ibrahima Nacir"

They said : "A child was kidnapped, this is a kidnapping alert of the ministry of justice. Don't act alone, if, and only if you have informations to find him, call the number phone that appears on your screen. Your engagement is essential, the survival of a child depends on it ! "

The last alert was yesterday, they find the girls today!

[KkRayle]

That scared the shit out of me!

[stutterfly21]

this sound kinda reminds me of the ending of who wants to be a Millionaire!

[leonpicha]

Gives Me The Shivers Tbh

(to be honest)

[leonpicha]

I LUFF THAT SOUND <3

[lombax109]

this sounds like a game show sound

[SirBarneyGumble]

made the mistake of falling asleep with the radio on this morning...

[LARDLOGO]

Apparently it's sill in use in canada! This F***Ing thing went off at 9:53 last night. It made me yell $#!% really loud!

[atomicbolt]

YOU CANNOT KNOW THE TRUE FORM OF GIYGAS' ATTACK!

[yoshi41023]

O.o

[CSX2665]

i get chills from listening to this

[OWmyDragonballz]

Son Goku will save us.

[pHr33kAcHu]

Godzilla farted into the window of a music store and knocked over a timpani.

[MyNonoman]

When I was little this scared the poop outta me still does

[aneurysm1993]

OH SHIT JASON'S BEHIND ME!

[TheTechnoDemon]

SCARED THE CRAP OUT OF ME! !

[shahzaamm3]

Whats the amber alert?

[Mrleafsfan93]

@shahzaamm3 child abduction alert

[shahzaamm3]

@Mrleafsfan93 thanks man



[AndersonFamily12]

@shahzaamm3 CAE (Child Abduction Emergency)

[synysterjazmyngates]

Creepy!

[kipinator73]

This reminds me of the THX HD intro :\

[JSteinman1944]

It makes me feel so much better to know that i'm not the only one thinking this is scary... everytime i heard the emergency alert system beeps... immediately i'd turn down the radio in fear of this playing... always scared me as a kid and still does :(

[akerswizard779]

DON'T...FUCKING...EVER...PLAY THIS...IN THE DARK...

[cm524]

@akerswizard779 Or at night.

[TheChrisBarrows]

@akerswizard779 I did. And I shit myself.

[LeonSKennedy967]

Sounds like mw2.......

[webdigo]

@LeonSKennedy967 Note this all people. An comemnt like this person here just made, means you play too much pc-games, and not doing anything else.

[travelsonic]

@webdigo

No... just no.

It means somebody is able to draw a correlation between something they're familiar with, and that's all.

[webdigo]

@travelsonic I happen to disagree with you, and I stick to my poinion. Nothing can change that.

[Grubbo]

RUN! THE ALIENS ARE COMING! AND THEY HAVE YAMAHA SYNTHESIZERRRRRRRSSSS-zuh!

[akerswizard779]

so...I've never heard this during an amber alert.

[blklthrtn]

@akerswizard779 This is what they play in Dallas for the alert.

[tlages]

This sound is just stupid. 

[IfOnlyForOnce]

This sound does a pretty good job of being unsettling.

[PunchSydeiron]

It sort of reminds me of that noise that plays when you see the THX logo before a film starts.

[FutureNewsAnchor]

Thumbs up if you have a hash brown in your pants right now.

[TVisawesome432]

This is the sound for Amber Alert on the radio, ROFL

[ChristosCena]

this sound is nothing...press AMBER ALERT HELLAS and go to 1:21...this is the real fear...

[exa121RETURNS]

@ChristosCena: Not that scary, just annoying. This one reminds me of my little sister going evil and shooting someone with some kind of laser gun.

[atomicbolt]

Heard this on the alarmclock radio just as I woke up this morning. WELCOME TO MY NIGHTMARES.

[Dominic3602]

This scared the shit out of me

[rorybz]

This is used in the U.S., but I agree it sounds kind of goofy. I used the WAV on my computer tied to various Microsoft Outlook alerts while I was in college. Once it woke my roommate up while I wasn't even in the room, and he said it freaked the crap out of him.

[fantaXDaddict]

Sounds like something off Logan's Run lol

[chubbyboy2011]

OMG THIS IS FREAKY.

[darthsugi89]

Ha! This made me laugh! Sounds more like the ending of a game show. But the EAS alarm is freaky! This just means a child has been abducted, EAS means nuclear attack!

[BigClubPenguinFan300]

@darthsugi89 lol

[perogie34]

@darthsugi89 Just? JUST?!!!!!

WHEN A CHILD IS KIDNAPPED, AND WE HAVE NO IDEA WHAT THE KIDNAPPER PLANS TO DO, IS SOME SERIOUS SHIT!!! IT'S NOT "JUST" WORTHY! IT'S AN INNOCENT CHILD"S LIFE AND INNOCENCE AT RISK!

[darthsugi89]

@perogie34 Oh really? A single child is worth more than the lives of innocence millions, if not billions? So lets say you woke up on the morning of a nuclear holocaust. Just before, a child is abducted, and this alarm sounds. Moments later, the EAS alert sounds. Are you going to be crazy over this kid you don't know, or will you be more concerned about the next few moments that could horrifically change our civilization forever? Yes it bothers me when a child is abducted, but you sound nuts!

[bellaragazza1337]

Amber Hagerman is what started Amber alerts.

[geeknerd101]

Hearing that noise still gives me chills. I agree with some of the other it scares the heck out of me.

[frednora]

Is this Canada exclusive? I have never heard this in my life (US). It's freaky! If I were a kid and heard this in the middle of the night I woulda shit myself.

[boutitbenza699]

@frednora nope, it's in the US too, in fact the Amber Alert was invented in North Texas, so blame the DFW radio and TV stations for inventing the scariest sound for a alert.

[frednora]

@boutitbenza699 Yeah, I know we invented the Amber Alert itself, but that sound is the single most disturbing thing I have ever heard. I have never heard that in an Amber Alert (or anything) ever. It is horrible.

[stutterfly21]

@frednora Yea this sound is used when Amber Alerts happen here in Canada, but apparently it was first used in North Texas bacause that's when they first invented the Amber alert.

[AlexRampaul]

@stutterfly21 For example on Toronto's Breaking News channel, CP24, they have this same tone (with a voice-over), and would show red siren light spinning on its AMBER ALERT banner.

[themavsfan1992]

This used to scare the crap out of me when i was a kid

[GlassesPerson]

Sounds like something from one of those old vanity plates.

[distortedveins]

this is the most fucking scariest thing i've ever heard in my life.

[MrLongknife]

George Lopez makes funnies about Amber Alerts - for shame. I think everyone who is missing a child should send him their child's missing information.

[TheCassidy94]

it sounds really scary!!

[Skwinkster]

This isn't anything like here in Washington. We have a regular EAS tone.

[stutterfly21]

This sound is mostly issued in Amber Alerts here in Canada. And one just happened here today btw :s

[gabrielajocson]

They found the boy in BC he was brought home safe and sound. :0 Phew!

[bratzkinz101]

HA ! sounds like that thing before movies haha<3

[SergeantLuke]

You know, in any other context, this would be pretty corny. But in this case it means that SOMEBODY HAS KIDNAPPED A CHILD. And suddenly it's exactly as scary as it's intended to be.

[viperxeon]

*Shits self*

[Tplayer47]

I'm pretty sure they put this sound so they say, "HEY! GET OFF YOUR FUCKIN' ASS AND LOOK AT THIS! A GOD DAMN KID WAS ABDUCTED! HELP!"

[allboutdatblue69]

@keith81081 LOL! i agree dude wtf were they thinking when they made this sound . . . makes me want to hide to like there r zombies infesting the earth or something

[1vulpixgirl]

when do you hear this? Is it on tv? i never heard this sound before in my area....

[nrod1984]

@1vulpixgirl Much more like your ERA. I'm not even sure they play these anymore. I haven't heard one since I was about 11 years old... which was a while ago.

[xkissiemex]

Thats just terrfing and blood-chilling. Whoever kidnaps an innocent child is a sick fuck.

[kaykay8100]

@xkissiemex O.O TRUE

[daniwan3000]

I turned on the TV and played it. I felt fine XD

[aydawnn]

creeepy.

[unthinkable12ful]

ooh terrifying

[CallMeGeek]

I FUCKING HATE THIS NOISE. My friend got abducted when I was young, and I haven't seen her since! THAT IS WHY.

[krazy3killaklown]

man amber keeps geting away jK

[Hot5six4231]

Is this the sound of the amberlamps van?

[toncookie337]

They used to use this sound during the L.A. riots too.

[blklthrtn]

That is my ringtone on my Iphone. It scares the hell out of people when it rings

[brasil2014love]

honestly i was in an rv outside my house when i was little and this sound ALWAYS scared me. i was getting something out of the rv and the radio was on .... and get what commercial came on... thats right this lovely tune.. I SERIOUSLY SPRINTED IN THE HOUSE CRYING. it still scares me. if the sound scares you, then you should think of it every time you see a creeper van.

[MahBoiProduction]

I heard this sound 6 times in one day last week. Makes me want to go into a fetal position.

[ferrari2197]

@MahBoiProduction my god me too. It was in Vancouver. I was watching it in Ontario on my satellite. Just weird how it can get here.

[GigaBowserNS]

I just heard this on TV for the first time. Took me by surprise without a doubt. The announcer reading the information had an evil-sounding voice.

[ferrari2197]

@GigaBowserNS Me too heard it last week.

[TheIntrinsic]

@ferrari2197 I heard that shit an hour ago. fucking scary. I have the house to myself, it's 2 in the morning and I have all the lights turned off. :(

[ferrari2197]

@TheIntrinsic lol

[444rrrfff]

WW2 Air raid

[Lithium933]

they're much scarier when you see the actual commercial

[Dragongirl1127]

This would be cute if the connotation wasn't scary. Of course, one night, my dad and I were watching the tv with the volume up high (his hearings not that good, unfortunely ) and this came on. I screamed, and he jumped.

[BoidsiesRoblox]

Although this sound would probably startle me at 2am, I don't see why you people think it's so scary. It's just a chord with the pitch being raised, maybe a couple of drum beats. And... why do they use this for Amber Alerts, exactly?

[underlinedbluetext]

@BoidsiesRoblox I've heard it only a few times on tv, but everytime my blood starts flowing. It's really jarring. I asked my professor (sound physics) WHY it's so scary and his answer was essentially.... its just... a scary noise. and the ensuing fear is purely pavlovian. thats why they use it.... because it works.

[foozy12]

Am I not hearing what you guys are hearing or something? I mean, it's a little strange/scary, but not too much. What is this used for anyway?

[marciemousey]

@foozy12

It's used when there's an Amber Alert in effect. And as an Amber Alert is used when children are abducted, it's not so much the sound as the connotations that go with it that terrify people. Myself included.

[EyeforaeyeRS]

this is like me biting a apple and not relizing theres a worm in it...random

[buffalokirby]

Sounds cool

[rainbowwithrain]

Dramatic Hamster!!!!!!

[krystlerita]

@yasmeena142 Culture of fear, baby

[prettyplagues]

Basically one of my least favourite sounds ever.

[DSX147]

This sound is awesome, it makes me wish more children were kidnapped.

[ISNproductions]

@DSX147 WTF is wrong with you asshole. Thats not even cool to say

[KirbySuperstar101]

@DSX147 that is so sick dude! >:(

[794281]

I fucking hate that sound its scary

[Reesesp13ces]

I rly wish I didn't see this I am so freaked O.o

[chwuwd]

this is thx

[newstarcadefan]

This is one of the most sickening sounds on earth. I would classify that with hearing somebody's leg get broken.

[kansasoutcast1]

I'm glad im not the only one that gets freaked from this sound

[nataliacruzmolina]

what the f**** ?o_o

[71PITTSBURGHPENGUIN]

cool goal horn for hockey, but the law probably would not let the team use cuz it would scare people.

[populargirl10]

ok well, it kinda scares me but not that much anymore, ^.^

[AniRemi]

When I was a kid, I didn't even KNOW what this noise meant, and it gave me nightmares.

[themavsfan1992]

This still creeps me out to this day.

[duckerly28]

It makes me sort of sad that this sound is the reason that people don't want kids to be abducted instead of, you know, KIDS GETTING ABDUCTED.

And it really does sound like some sort of gameshow noise. :/

[stamosgang]

lol

[TheChrisBarrows]

I really hate the little squeals. That makes me have goosebumps every time

[jeryjohn]

amber alert to what?

[avsfan331940]

Really creepy, like you're the one about to get kidnapped.

[InsaneBuzzNeini]

I'm not scared at all. I agree that it sounds like a corny 80s horror flick.

[UberNoob33]

That's fucking creepy! Oh my God that'll give me nightmares.

[hermies32]

OMG I hate this sound I get creeped out every time i hear it--fuckkk people who have the nerve to kidnap a kid!

[TheMgStudios]

sounds like the THX sound lol

[Morbidcrab]

it kinda gets old the 30th time

[eskilla]

@Morbidcrab Holy cow, where do you live that you so routinely get amber alerts!?!?

[Thereisnodaddy]

creepy...

[skippercole10]

this sound is so fuckin creapy

[xXFrohman2Xx]

Freaky, indeed.

[DSX147]

That sound is so fucking awesome.

[AlexRampaul]

CP24, a 24-hour local news channel in Toronto, Ontario Canada has this terrifying theme with the voiceover "This is an Amber Alert" when an Ontario-wide Amber Alert is in place.

[conkerfan88]

holy fucking god i remember dis shit it was in 1991 i was watching the simpsons with my dad and then this sound popped up and it said dis shit about a girl that got kidnapped from her front porch it scared the shit out of me it still haunts me today

[Joricky12]

old horror movie xD

[noun12345]

Oh, we're out of time! See you tomorrow on "Who Wants To Be A Millionaire"!

[yoshi9891]

@noun12345 LOL

[Kolfritz]

It's almost a sound I wouldn't take seriously...

[krystlerita]

Uh-oh, so I guess kidnapped kids end up in Silent Hill

[youatemyenchalada666]

@krystlerita lol haha

[MrCadefulp]

Sounds like the typical SFX you'd hear from a goofy 80's horror film

[Joricky12]

lol

[MicahLuvFun26]

just imagian hearing this at 2:36 AM

[diehardcoyotesfan]

i know holy crap haha man it s happen haha

[droidekabakugan1986]

This sound is the stuff of nightmares!

[TheIntrinsic]

Very freaky if you're watching TV in the middle of the night and the picture goes black and all you see is the red letters AMBER ALERT, followed by that freaky tone. Happened once, it really freaked me out.

[comedaman1234]

The letters are the cue to turn the TV off for a few seconds, I guess.

[slowshow111]

crap that was cool

[slowshow111]

if you hear this 10000 times, il give you $50CAN

[iinlovejameslafferty]

One time we was coming home and then I heard the amber alert go off. at first I thought like Oh crap!!!! D-8 But there was a girl missing and she wasn't last saw at a IHOP.

[droidekabakugan1986]

I-Hop, U-Hop, We All Hop 2 I-Hop!

[sarita78]

What's scary about the sound is that as a parent you never want to hear this sound! It's not meant to be ghost scary people!

[3andathumbdowm]

ugh that sends a chill down your spine

[Yoshimitsu483]

i could hear this 100 times and not get scared at all
