The Danish Air raid sirenes allways gives me the creeps, I think it’s the clear sound that gets me. Unlike other sirenes that has a harsha tone, the Danish ones have a almost sterile tone, convaying the feeling of “this sound is vary important, stop now and go Inside. Like a scary Teacher”
Starts at 0:15 and later has a “all clear” tone later on on youtubes
Then again it might just be because I had to listen to it as a kid, and I was a weird ass kid
I wasn’t in Hawai’i when that happened but I knew and worked remotely with a bunch of people who were and what blew my mind was that everyone just went back to their day after that.
I mean, fucking hell. I would need a hot minute to recover from coming to terms with my imminent death and the death of everyone I knew and loved who lived on Hawai’i. I feel like that would be traumatizing af.
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.
