How do ya'll feel about sirens?..

So I recently moved back into the valley, before that i lived on a private little hill over looking the valley, now i live in the valley..
so anyway, everyday, sometimes several times a day, you'll hear the sirens, sometimes it's an ambulance, sometimes it;s a firetruck, either way happens everyday, several times a day, pretty sure there's a fire station nearby, anyway the day basically consists of sirens and crazy dogs howling and barking at the sirens.. it makes for a very chaotic environment..
I'm aware of their urgency and whenever i hear them i pray that they arrive safely to their destination and that they are able to provide assistance to those who are in need, but.. idk.. sometimes i feel like they overkill it with the sirens.. as a matter of fact they are going off right now as i type this, dogs are howling and everything.. there it is again.. and again.. THREE TIMES IN LIKE THE SPAN OF 10 MIN..
anyway how do yall feel about them?..

I think sirens are important... Obviously something is very wrong, so cops/firefighters/ambulances are needed to either stop some one from a shooting spree, save some one's life, or stop a building from collapsing ontop of some one... all of these things are urgent situations and need quick action.
Sirens tell people on the road to get the fuck out of the way so that people can do important shit like save lives.
If you are annoyed by sirens then you better be doing something more important than saving lives every day.
Or just move the fuck out of there and into the country and stop complaining.

I live right near a great teaching hospital, one of the best in the US(and one of the best in the world in not far from it), I don't just get sirens I get lifeflight(I'm assuming)helicopters flying VERY close(this place is literally a block or so away) over my apartment many times a day at all hours, it's quite loud. Actually..there's a helicopter hovering near as I speak. The first time it startled me a bit because I wasn't used to it, now it's just
Noise doesn't bother me, really, sirens, helicopters, honking cars, neighbors, pedestrians, their barking dogs, I live in a loud place. When I go somewhere quiet sometimes I find myself temporarily disconcerted as a result. I'm on a fairly quiet street in a loud part of town, if that makes sense.
chances are you'll get used to it and it'll sound like home sooner or later

i'm kinda used to it already.. but idk i think it drives some people crazy and makes for a much more hostile environment.. people should look into it, that's all im sayin..
ever wonder why peeps living in the city are usually much crazier than the peeps living in much quieter areas?..

ehh, idk about that.
I think that ratio is pretty much the same everywhere. It's just in the city you're in contact with so many people that you're bound to run into more crazy people, but in that mess you find more sane and awesome people as well. I think cities are kind of a clusterfuck, but they have their own beauty. I really do love exploring the mess.

There is a fire station like.... 3 houses down from where I live now and a couple of times a day or midnight they put on their sirens... like the loudest tornado sirens ever. At first I thought something was seriously wrong when we moved but now it's just normal.
I just hope... maybe someone is about to get helped or saved when I hear them.

neighborhood across the way had been blowing the fire alarm off many times a day, middle of the night.. I had to put a stop to that shit.. I get there is an emergency but they had it rigged to 911 and every call that come in there it would go off and 90% the time its false alarm. cant be disturbing the entire town because some crackhead burned his noddles again..

My dad used to tell me that when the ice cream truck was playing its sirens that it meant he was all out.

I cover my ears every time an emergency vehicle drives near me, the sound decibles are massive!
Ive lived in the city for over 10 years and Im so used to the seemingly constant sirens that when I went to my folks place and spent the night, I had a hard time sleeping because it was too quiet.

A sheriff only comes to the town I live in a few times a month.
I never hear sirens or even see police unless I go to the city.

My parents told me that if I ate too many grapes I would turn into one. When they told me this, I had already finished off the bag without them knowing.
I freaked the fuck out. I thought I was turning into a grape for sure.

On topic though, not too many sirens. I have tons of helicopters flying overhead though. Probably a few dozen a day when they're doing stuff, which is most weekdays. Shakes the house.
