My uncle used to be a paramedic. He said if you hear an unusual ambulance siren, especially if it kinda sounds like it's been messed with manually, the driver is trying to make it sound more urgent.
That's actually good to know, I heard an ambulance messing with it's sirens, going around in pitch and sound, I also noticed they were (for lack of a better term) hauling ALOT of a$$!
Alternating tones can be better at catching drivers' attention, but there are some whackers out there, especially the younger ones, that do it far too much (see the DJ siren in the video).

If you go super nuts fast between wail and yelp you can get a solid R2D2. That's my favorite, though people do call and complain from time to time. Other fun one of note, if you have the wail running and just quickly tap the handset on the PA on and off, you can beatbox it.

I remember when I had a fevral seizure, or whatever you call it, I was barely concious enough to remember what the paramedics called it. They did that one because we were going through some of the most crowded areas right when schools and offices closed for the Day. But I didn't die or anything so I guess it worked

Too funny! When I was taken by ambo in the middle of the night to a hospital an hour a way because my fever was 105 I heard some version of all of these here in Costa Rica. Somethings are international apparently.
The anger of flipping switches as cars dive INTO the path of travel when you only have so many switches...yes you'll hear it all. On the roads between towns my old man would leave all the lights and sirens off because on the open roads people would panic and merge in front of the ambo.
The gentle nudge works best for me. The blasting sirens at max at the intersection by my house at midnight when there are no cars on the road and they have a green, I like that less
I don't know your jurisdiction but in some places if an emergency vehicle is flashing the reds & blues & has an accident they'll be held at fault if they didn't have the siren on because they didn't give "full warning" even if it's 3am in a quiet empty well lit street & they were hit while driving under the speed limit etc.
Protocol. Switch tones a specified distance from the intersection, and then usually again as you enter the intersection. Generally progression is wail-yelp-hyper yelp/horn combo. I also alternate between wail and yelp when approaching cross streets and spam the horn if there is traffic.
My dad would play the Talking Heads Burnig Down the House on full blast rolling through the ghetto going to a fire. Hed post up on a lunch break and blast Safetey Dance or if he had some hoodlums around he'd play some hip hop. You guys are the real heroes. The offensive line of Public Safety.
my favorite moment from being a first responder was accidentally hitting the Q horn while our local police chief who is a complete dick was standing less than three feet from the Q horn
I work right outside a busy intersection that a lot of emergency personnel go through daily. I love to hear the different siren patterns as the trucks navigate the intersection. My favorite is the “Gentle Siren” as they try to coax someone, who has stopped in the middle of the intersection in a panic, to move through the intersection so the truck can get passed.
That last one depending on location of the station also has a giant subwoofer attached to it “rumble siren”, usually in cities because everything is so loud that shaking everything in a 2 block cone in front of you is mandatory
This would be actually be REALLY helpful for our deaf community and anyone and everyone with hearing issues/impairments!!

As a graveyard dispatcher, you can feel the energy of the 6th call after midnight radiating through the radio. I always feel so bad paging out the same district so many times in a row 😂
The fast siren always makes me freeze into panic mode cuz I heard it almost once a month for 3 years when my mom was first terminal and they couldnt find medicine to help her. 😅 You're heart squeezes so damn fast it's like getting a cramp! Also fun is seeing the helicopter at the hospital launch pad.
One time we were chasing. I accidentally grabbed the radio to yell at the driver instead of the loud speaker. Dispatch was like “WHAT THE FUUUUUU ARE YOU SAYING???” My partner…..just sat there. What a rookie.
Had a cop pull up next to my Tahoe on a Saturday night after work and he heard my exhaust. I did NOT look over at him but he gave me a little blip on the siren and then say over the PA "i bet its still slow". Best interaction ive ever had at a red light.

Lol! Your facial expressions make all these videos even funnier!
When I was running on 2 hours of sleep, new born at home, working patrol in downtown Savannah, the fire department and the emt guys were on of the things that kept me sane.
As a graveyard dispatcher, you can feel the energy of the 6th call after midnight radiating through the radio. I always feel so bad paging out the same district so many times in a row 😂
You will never know how many times I was thankful to have a good, calm dispatcher
Gentle touch is my Sarcasm siren. I love congratulating people who FINALLY move with it.
?
Gotta love a fireman with a brilliant sense of humour 😍❤️
The fast siren always makes me freeze into panic mode cuz I heard it almost once a month for 3 years when my mom was first terminal and they couldnt find medicine to help her. 😅 You're heart squeezes so damn fast it's like getting a cramp! Also fun is seeing the helicopter at the hospital launch pad.
what a way to end the paramedic shift, thx for your content, it brings us smile in the station.
It was so cool seeing you at Charlotte airport last week, extremely nice guy!!
The “custom siren” is the one people need to hear more often. Especially where I work at.
This man ALWAYS makes my day!😂❤
This is hilarious. Best part is the "LATE CALL" hahaha
As a relatively new driver, this information is very helpful. Better than my EVOC training
I haven't laughed so hard in a good while 😂
Thank you 😊 👍
Lmao I look forward to these every morning at work
Lmfao I'm totally the 6th call after midnight
I was going to give you 118 likes but 117 is perfect
One time we were chasing. I accidentally grabbed the radio to yell at the driver instead of the loud speaker.
Dispatch was like “WHAT THE FUUUUUU ARE YOU SAYING???”
My partner…..just sat there. What a rookie.
Had a cop pull up next to my Tahoe on a Saturday night after work and he heard my exhaust. I did NOT look over at him but he gave me a little blip on the siren and then say over the PA "i bet its still slow". Best interaction ive ever had at a red light.
Last one was the cherry on top
The Dj siren its the best lol 🤣🚨🚒
