It sounded like the David Jones fire/evac alarm going off, along with a heap of announcements. You hear it every few weeks.

Ok thanks all - I've worked in the city here in this general area for more than 4 years and never heard it all before - let alone seen the offices all evacuated!!

At least it kept us busy here LOL :)

Considering what we were talking about, it was just a bit obvious that the building was going to be evacuated.
