There's an emergency at the Facility down the road, and everyone in a six-mile radius is very likely fucked.

What is the sound that announces your fate?

oooooOOOOOOOIPP, oooooOOOOOOOOIPP
WAAAARK ..... WAAAARK ..... WAAAARK
dyOOT! ... dyOOT! ... dyOOT!
Something else? (please spell)

Lol the youtube comment:

this siren isnt meant to warn the public its meant to scare away the tornado

Holy shit, is Chicago silent hill!?

[-] ndguardian@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago

No. It’s the home of SirenHead.

Really should make a horror game based on that

[-] BrianTheeBiscuiteer@lemmy.world 7 points 11 months ago

Terrifying? Maybe. Creepy AF? Absolutely.

It does kind of sound like a police car that drove into a duckpond and is sadly shorting out...

I didn't realize that was Chicago's tornado siren, but it's 100% the one that popped into my head. It just sounds viscerally wrong.

Literally as I read the title "if Chicago tornado warning sirens ain't the top post..."

[-] Ejh3k@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

My first thought as well.

It haunts me and I've only heard it on videos. Not refreshing my memory thanks
