What frequency do they run on?

Not sure of this, but I think there used to be a federal law, that emergency services sirens and horns that could double as Civil Defense alarms had to be tested twice a day. Most got tested at noon, with the second test determined by the agency on who's building the noisemaker was on. Some tested at 0600, 0800, 1700 or 1800 hours.

usually they are used for urgent emergency calls, such as a fire, shooting, ect. they get the attention of the police units.

could i perhaps get the Frequencies for the codes being sent out? I own a scanner and and monitor it everyday. iam just intreged by the sound of the siren and would like to hear the siren code being sent out that way i could hear the siren when it is told to play and what not.

dont ask me why i just have a deep intrest for sirens that sends intrest and chills up my spine. :)
