Yes but only at noon.

The best is that they play church bells on Sunday Morning. Some of my best memories are sitting in the deer woods as a kid 6 miles away listening to the Church Bells ring.

not sure about yours our noon whistle was like 1 rotation maybe 15-20 seconds

tornadoes it blares for 5+ minutes

about a minute in I bet you would figure it out

One a week (Wednesdays) at noon, to test the system's operational status.

Just my opinion, but sounding it daily only leads to its' ineffectiveness, as people get conditioned to ignoring it.

It's at noon here for most of the towns here.

they test them in town but not on a regular basis. I live far enough I dont hear any city noise.

Everyday at noon. My dog and few others around town like to howl along. lol

Nap time

At noon my whole life. Just thought everyone did it. .

Nope, tells us farmers it's lunch time. All different calls have different sounds/durations. You can tell what kind of call it is rescue, fire, etc.... by the alarm if you know the code.
There's no getting condition to ignoring it. Just the opposite, if it's not the noon whistle (which sounds different) everyone wants to know what is going on.

That's Great

Yep, at noon.

A church across the road plays bells on Sunday and I had a Beagle That could really sing a tune when they did. The wimmen would come out of the church to watch him, lol.

First Saturday of every month at noon.

Mine did when I was growing up.

I've heard that dogs howl as it hurts their ears

The town to my west has a noon siren and the the town to my east don't.

Gary it goes off at 10am

7am, 12noon, 1pm, 6pm is our towns siren schedule.

Or, wake up whistle, 1st beer whistle, 2nd beer whistle, wife whistle, (pick up all the empty’s, she’ll be home soon.)

A lot of the small towns I work in around here ring the church bells at noon.

It lets me know it's time to take a lunch break.

Yep, at noon. They quit doing it 15-20 years ago for about a year, but then they started doing it again. I live out of town but you can hear that whistle for miles and miles. If I'm outside it lets me know what time it is.

Not just a rural thing. I grew up in the burbs in southern New England. The fire house was about a mile down our road and the whistle went off at 6 pm every evening in addition to whenever they were heading out on a call. If it wasn't 6 pm you knew there was a fire somewhere and it warned everyone to watch out for the trucks tearing out of the firehouse and going down the road. I left that part of the country behind as fast as I could almost 50 yrs ago so have no idea if it is still done.

We checked our clocks against the whistle time and reset to match if needed. Here in rural southwest Va I never hear alarms unless there is a fire so I assume it isn't done.

Not a siren but one of the businesses does have a large church like bell that get rung everyday at noon
