I spent a fair amount of time in the north east, so to never hear sirens is usually just a quiet day, but I'll agree that I'm hearing them more frequently, oftentimes several times a day and night. In fact, I heard several different sirens in the distance. One as I was reading the link on the poal main page, another during the video play when I muted the video, and another as I started writing this comment after watching the video.
I live in the city. Since the new year, I've been hearing them at least once an hour throughout the day and night, but usually more like every 15 minutes or so. Before the new year, over the last two years during this fake pandemic, they've been regular at specific times of day: in the morning when people are going to work, when they get off for lunch, when they're going home from work, and then throughout the evening until most people have gone home for the night.
I sent an email to complain to the city, and they responded saying something about the need to test the sirens. A bunch of BS.
I live in the city.
My deepest sympathy.
I'm in a village, established in the 1800's. We even have a water tower ala Petticoat Junction. There's a couple of Hootervilles about a half hour away and Mount Pilot is about an hour. Sirens around me are still pretty rare. (They test the big emergency sirens once a month.)
When I hear them, I go to broadcastify.com and pull up the local police/fire channels to listen to. Perhaps you can find channels near you so you can hear what those sirens are responding to.
You're blessed to live where you do. It sounds like the kind of place I would like to be.
broadcastify.com is only for the US. I'm in Canada.
Is this Mount Pilot?
I'm experiencing the same thing. Sirens all hours of the day and night.
