  • This was a failure. I'm surprised a recording of audible quality, like this one, actually existed.

    In New England, it was nothing but static, with some barely audible moments in the first 5 seconds.

    Feds quality at it's best.

  • @bobri289 Yes, it has been used since 1997. The deeper tone had been used in the earlier Emergency Broadcast System since the 60's or 70's.

  • I watched this in hope that maybe,just maybe,the sound wouldn't scare me anymore.

    NOPE.

  • you know you have to turn the volume down once the channel switches to a shopping channel.
