The multilingual emergency messages with the high pitched beeps on cruise ships.
I’ve never been on a cruise but I’ve seen a few videos and documentaries and always find this terrifying. You have nowhere to run to but a muster station. Like, you may drown while hearing a foreign language that you can’t understand but is somehow telling you to GFTO.
Terror? Carbon monoxide alarm. Less for the sound, and more for the mental strife after what you are 99% sure it is a false alarm… as that 1% doubt (that might kill you in your sleep) keeps you from sleeping.
Where I live there are tries every this date, so when it really comes to your mind that its sounding awfully strong and long time than usually… It sure kicks you into another mood.
A bunch of people screaming in terror would probably be pretty terrifying: What’s that? The gates of hell opening up to consume us all? No! It’s just an emergency vehicle.
