I live in Illinois in the USA and we have a natural disaster siren drill on the first tuesday of every month. Never heard of an air raid drill here though...let's hope not anytime soon!
We test our sirens the first Wednesday of the month, as well. We use a solid solid tone for tornadoes and the waivering sound, like shown here, for an air raid. I just hope the U.S. nor China will need their sirens for the latter.
Once I had kept air raid as my alarm for getting up when it rang I got so afraid and woke up everyone at home btw I was wearing headphone just imagine how it would feel
Air raid sirens are no longer necessary. If this went off, no one's going to even consider a nuclear threat. They're going to ignore it because air raids haven't happened since WWII & if you don't have a flight plan with the FAA, you're going to be shot down by the military. Sounding that siren is only going to give people the chills & annoy the hell out of them.
We have exactly the same siren in France, which can be heard every first wednesday of the month. It might be scary for those who haven't this system, in other country, but actually we're used to this. And i think it's a good things, because one day if a disaster happen (nuclear incident for exemple) we could act very quick.
@damnnono Yep, every month, the first wednesday at noon^^ The problem is if there were an incident happening on this time (getting the siren to start), people'll think that it's an exercise...
@damnnono We also test once a month here in sweden, though we use a different siren system (a set of repeating tones), with a different set corresponding to the type of alert ranging from "please get to the nuclear shelter right effing now" to "please turn your radio on to figure out which industry just blew up and poisoned the water supply". :P
@danielAgorander So they have the drill every month? I wonder if there is any benefit from doing this nowadays, i don't think the US have this kind of drill even during the coldwar. even thou, i still love to hear the siren sound, let me think of the WW2
@damnnono Well, they don't do a full drill every month, they basically just test the sirens. It was a couple years ago since I lived in the city though so I'm not 100% certain about the schedules nowadays.
@damnnono Here in The Netherlands we also test our sirens on the first Monday of the month.
These sirens are still useful because they now are used to declare a general emergency. The government learns the people that it sounds on those Mondays at noon and that if it sounds on a different day and/or time, that people must get inside, close windows and door and tune on the news for information: Why does it sound and what must we do in that situation.
Man, ever since watch Silent hill and hearing an Air raid I get so fkn scared of shit like this... If I heard this in my place... Oh my god... I'd panick and probably be rolling on the floor like squidward from spongebob
I don't care if this was a drill, I'd probably attempt to leave the country. I'd probably run out into the streets crying, I'm also American so that should explain why.
@roombafan56001 same in holland but we only hav one which tells us to close windows and watch channel 1 news be cause it could be for flooding or air raid

What type of siren is that? Does China have 60 hz power? In that case, the siren has 12 ports, like an STH-10 or Model 7.
