Small towns around here blow the whistle at 7 am, 12pm, 1pm, and 6 pm. Does your town do it? Out in the country here we can hear 3-4 sirens from different villages. It's hard on the folks working night shift and sleep in the day.

We have one at noon and one at 6. I've found it's nice for me when I'm working and can't check my phone.

Never heard of that before ....why would they do that ?

Next town over has a similar schedule. Grandpa got ours stopped in the early 70's.

I hear the one in town 8 miles away. Usually at noon and 5.

When I'm deer hunting I start watching when the 5:00 whistle goes off.

Only at noon there......

Our small town blow a siren at 10 every day. Also used for storm alerts but sometimes they are late to the issue

When I was going up..our town blew that Fire House horn at Noon and 5 pm.

And if your were on the same street as the fire station when it blew...you about schaat yah pants.

It caught me many times.

Also ...that horn would do like a Morse code blasts....to alert everyone where a fire was.

Our fire alarm down the street was #15 ....so you’d get 1 blast....pause...then 5 quick blasts....and people knew where the fire was

If they do, I am far enough away that I can't hear it.

Unnecessary ritual.

Around here some churches bells go off at noon. Only other time I would of heard such sirens are at factory sites. Just weird for the town itself to sound a siren/horn/whistle.

AM or PM?
Interesting

Maybe silly and unnecessary in today's day, but it is a part of the rural history where I lived. Most little towns still do it at noon, some at noon and 6. I like it, but then again I live in the country and I just hear it in the distance and am not living right underneath the siren.

The town I grew up in used to blow the towns fire whistle / siren at noon and 6pm.

The fire department used to blow the siren 3 times for a town fire and 6 times for a rural fire.

Fond du lac does it everyday at noon.

Monday thru Saturday just at noon.
Town of 130 some. I can hear it if the wind is right.

my home town is noon and 9pm

my current town is for when the volunteer fire department is called lets you know to get out of the way.

Ours use to at noon but come to think of it I haven't heard it in a long time. I don't live in town so maybe I just haven't been there at noon in awhile.

Little town I grew up in had a siren go off at noon every day. Everyone called it The Noon Whistle.
It was a warning for tornadoes. I guess we all would have got blown away if one came through at noon...

Grew up in Omaha near SAC hq. Air raid sirens were tested every Sat. at 9am. Sirens were mostly used for tornado warnings. Time to head for the basement when that siren blew!
