Germany (and a lot of other European countries) still have the old NeeNaw sirens. The electronic ones are OK, the compressed air ones are KICK ASS
but if you have the two-tones on for a long time they become monotonous and lose the 'alarming' effect. Studies have apparently shown that wail/yelp is the way to go.

If you can hear the siren. I've only noticed them when I've seen the lights in my rearview mirror. and then 15 metres away from me.
