Every fire dept here does it at noon...ish..lol
You'll hear the first one at 11:59, the next at noon, another one at 12:01 or 2, I can't hear the other stations but I'm sure their clocks are all off too... grin

That's better then here, they run about ten minutes apart. Had a lady stop one day and ask if it was a tornado siren.

we have a church with an automatic bell it plays bells to tell you the hour

the fog horn at the lakefront used to play a honk for every hour I haven't been there in a while to hear it

Around here they blow a siren the first Wednesday of each month around noon. Then they announce this is only a test.
Years ago, they used to blow a curfew siren at 9:00 every night. I don't think they do that anymore.


Must be nice to eat ice cream as fast as you want and not have to worry about brain freeze.

Goes off at 12:01 here every day. If you're working outside or in the garage you can just keep cranking til you hear the siren then it's time for lunch.

Only place I ever lived that did was Groveland, Florida 73-76.

Here it's the first Wednesday of the month test of the tornado siren. Which leads to the monthly "what was that" questions on local social media pages.

A Town here is big part of a county, people can live miles apart. A part of a town where people live next to each other is a village usually has one street light.
I can't live in a village next to people, I need room to breath.

Grew up in a small town. We called the noon siren the dinner whistle. Hot bread came from the oven as the siren blew.

Tornado siren here sounds at noon and 6. Its a test more than anything. Warning system is much improved. used to blow if there was anything within 50 miles or so. If it goes off now smart people take cover. When its a storm warning it keeps going till its safe to come out.

Our town stopped doing it 15 years ago. Used to blow at 12 and 6. Now it just goes off for the fire department and ambulance runs. I miss hearing it. When I was a kid we relied on it for lunch time and when to head back to headquarters for evening chores. Everyone has a clock on their phones now so not much need for it.

I grew up 5-6 miles from a County Prison.

Back then you had to wait until 9:00 AM on the opening day of small game season to start hunting. The prison would sound it's escape siren to let all the hunters in the area know it was legal hunting time.

If that siren went off any other time of year kids ran home, parents locked the doors and armed themselves.


Eh...wot?

Any town in a tidal wave hazard zone will have a siren. Little town I was in for a couple years would sound it at noon every day.
