Dog howling - Max's 12:00pm Alarm Call

Dog howling In NJ every day at 12:00pm towns test their sirens. EVERY day... yes every day for years Max howls as this occurs. Max is currently eight years old and the mascot for http://www.jrequest.com. I think his howling has caused some of our neighbors not to speak to us. I honestly cant blame them because the howling can get to me as well at times. Thankfully, the town tests the sirens once a day, unless there is a real emergency in town and then there he goes again! At times he will howl for well over two minutes after the siren stops. Well, I love the guy regardless of how annoying the howling can get! I am going to post some more videos shortly.

[hal12b]

Thanks.... He's eight years old now and does not miss an opportunity to howl at the siren daily!

What breed is Max?

[hal12b]

He's a mutt. I don't know for sure, but the pound said when we got him that he's a german shepherd and rottweiler.

why test the sirens everyday? what are they for anyway?

[hal12b]

I don't know the details, but the fire department needs to do this.

The sound of an emergency siren can only travel so far...

This dog is actually helping to alert people...and calling for other dogs to Howl along with him.

This increases the distance of the emergency sirens effective range.

@mathyu0179 its called a siren test the fire dept next to me sounds their siren at 12;00 everyday it does not bother me it lets me know what is going on

[mathyu0179]

@Heyde1979 ok forget the nj sucks part. Why do they play that sound Every day?

[Heyde1979]

@mathyu0179 those sirens are for the volunteer firefighters and they dont bother me at all NJ does not suck what kind of a comment is that for

[mathyu0179]

Thats stupid, they don't care about the sirens but they get mad at the dog howling? The sirens, every day, really? What if something really happened at noon one day and everyone ignored it. What about the people who work at night? Nj sucks.

Testing every day seems sort of unnecessary, if not even stupid. Over here in Sweden we test ours first Monday of every month, if it's not the first Monday of a month and the alarm goes off you know it's not a drill or a test.

Wonder how you'd tell the difference here.. I suppose the testing has a set time? Beautiful dog anyway :)

Poor guy.

That weird. I live in the Chicago area and there is always a tornado siren test every Tuesdays at 10 am. but testing everyday is ridiculous.
