Noon Siren

Noon Siren

This piece was filmed on a smartphone, capturing the noon siren.

Since it was recorded very close to the sound source, you should be careful with the volume when listening.

At times, voices—presumably of the uploader’s child—are picked up, and there is quite a bit of background noise.

This recording captures the noon siren that everyone inevitably hears.

Because it was recorded naturally, there are some rustling microphone noises and footsteps mixed in, but it lets you hear the genuine siren exactly as it is.

It was recorded from quite a short distance, so it’s very powerful.

Earthquake Early Warning sound

Mobile alert tone for the Earthquake Early Warning

This is also the siren sound of the Emergency Earthquake Warning.

Although simple, it’s highly effective at prompting vigilance, and even people who have never actually experienced an earthquake may find it frightening.

As someone who has lived through many earthquakes, it’s a sound effect I’d rather not hear, but it’s true that this piece achieves a very high level of realism.

This work omits the announcement portion of the earthquake warning and extracts only the siren sound.

Despite the fairly high pitch, there’s no noticeable distortion, and it maintains stable quality.

Since alarm-type siren sounds are effective at drawing attention, they seem useful in situations where you want to alert people.

It’s similar to the siren that blares in all directions at noon, but this one is a sound effect adopted as an air raid warning.

If you listen closely, you’ll notice there are more elements that shake you up compared to the noon siren.

It’s a highly effective piece that speaks directly to the psyche and maximizes alertness.

Siren Fire Truck SOUND EFFECT

This is a very powerful sound effect, as if you’re listening to a fire engine siren up close.

Since it’s a sound effect from an overseas vehicle, it differs somewhat from Japanese fire engines in feel, but anyone can easily recognize it as an emergency.

For those who have experienced earthquakes firsthand, this alarm sound may be traumatic.

It’s the siren of the Earthquake Early Warning system.

It’s designed with a very loud acoustic effect so that, whether you’re some distance away or asleep, you can be awakened immediately.
