@@PV9000 lol me too
I love how informative and personal Japan’s tv warning is, while the US is just like “beeeeeeeeeep good luck lol”
Yes we just go BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP YOUR WELCOME FOR YOUR PANIC ATTACK AND ALSO FLASH FLOOD LOL
@@cindimcclain6325 OMG THIS IS SO ACCURATE LOL
I'm sometimes scared for my phone to have an emergency alert, or a test in the middle of the night. The main reason is because, the alert sound will scare the crap out of me at night, so I instead plug in my phone somewhere further away from me to charge.
@@fealmar1 it’s close to me so when it happens i can just shut it up
I wish the US would bring the Japan's EEW system, it's much better and informative.
The Saudi Arabia Danger Alert is very unnerving. Also, the way that the audio cuts off on the Japanese Tsunami Alert during saying the word "Evacuate" is sort of creepy.
I had a phone alert today in Lithuania. It was terrifying. We were all notified of a supercell storm head towards Vilnius. I was so terrified when the alert sounded.
Everybody says that the Japanese one is exceptionally calm, but please realize that Japanese people are way different and feel those warnings differently, since earthquakes are almost their "daily" bread.
Just yesterday it happens 3 times a day. I don't want to get hearing loss over mere earthquake warning
@@houghwhite411 That often? That is unbelieveable! I hope those were just minor shakes and nothing too serious?
@@RichieLarpa morning was 6 richter scale, day was 3 and evening was 2.
That calming bling bling tone is a quake warning meaning the quake haven't reached the people yet.
Like the chileans
Exceptionally calm? That warbling noise with yellow lines and a red X highlighting the coast on a plain solid blue background makes me wanna hide in myself
(Not so) fun fact: Japan's EAS alert automatically turns on your tv
Edit: I forgot to mention it does so at maximum volume (Thank you tredl9100)
Even without having cable ?
@@jamesturcotte6753 I think. I'm an american, so I don't really know.
that sounds fuckin scary
Holy shít. I can’t imagine waking up to that sound. The sound it self scares me as is
imagine sleeping in Japan and then your tv turns on automatically. Like damn it's giving the ring vibes
8:54 True story: this happened to me as well. When we were watching a show from Univision, the screen stopped and a black screen showed up with words typing, and hearing a female voice on the intercom. I’m also a Spanish person. Example: Soy de Ecuador, y me gusta el color rojo, y azul
Me gusta el turquesa
Would you be able to confirm that the text displayed is for Sacramento, ca?
@Quebec storm tracking Then idk how I didn't hear of that sooner since I'm in the Southern Sacramento valley
@Quebec storm tracking True, but word MUST have spread since people talk a lot on facebook
For those curious on how the Japanese alert systems work: for phones, it’s the same as it is now for everyone else with iPhones. Every phone has its own alert tone, but the one shown was old. For TV, the initial ring is to get your attention, they announce it and bring it to a camera, when you hear a small chime, that means it’s hit the area since the alert is earlier than the actually quake hitting the surface. The tsunami beeping turns the radio and other devices on incase of power outages.
It’s not cute, it’s terrifying.
China: There's an earth quake.
Jerusalem: Just a friendly reminder that your free trail of life is about to expire!

9:25 For those who can't translate the message here you go:
First Message: During This Emergency All Stations will be Open to Recieve News and Inform the Public in Designated Areas. This is K20 FZ. We will continue to serve you in the North Sacramento Valley. If you are not in this Local Area, Contact Your Local Station For News and Information.
2nd Message: You are listening to the Northan Sacramento Valley Emergency Alert System Service. Do Not Use Your Phone Telephone Lines Should Be Open for Emergency Use. The Emergency Alert System has been Activated.
Canada is like: We’re gonna make everyone have a heart attack
New Zealand is scarier in my opinion
New Zealand:WOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOW
As a Canadian, I’ve gotten more than a thousand near heart attacks from that sound.
As a Canadian student I have to agree. Why does my province have the EAS on for covid safety every. Time. Were. Put. On. Lockdown. I get anxiety attacks every. Bleeping. Time.
As someone who lives in Canada, I can confirm that AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

For the Location Unknown one in 9:25 , it's been determined that this was an EAN (Emergency Action Notification) message transmitted on Univision 27 in the Chico/Redding area, according to NorCalDude599 and AnEAShasbeenissued. Hope this helps!
That one was in Argentina
I have evidence that this happened in the Chico/Redding Area. I looked up the original source of the video shown at 9:25, and at the end there was an ident showing the Univision 27 logo.
What was the alert for?
A test, I believe.
Yeah, I noticed the message said "Sacramento" (the capitol of California, which is located in the northern region of the state) on it. That combined with the message seemingly being in Spanish (California has a large Spanish-speaking population, so a lot of services are in Spanish too) made me think it was probably made in California.
Props to the guy who traveled all over the world just to get alerts.
yeah, and perfect timing as well.

for an Aussie...Bushfires are an annual event, that can happen during our summertime, this is a very detailed broadcast which is a saviour that helped many locals during the 2019-2020 bushfires
I like how japan actually gives proper information, care about other peoples life and repeat themselves about the emergency . But in Us they just give a message, the alarm and some random voiceover.
From the Japanese point of view:
In Japan, small earthquakes occur daily throughout the country. The only time an alert like the one in this video is issued is when there is a direct threat to life. Those who say they are not afraid are saying this because they do not live in Japan. The generation of Japanese who experienced the Great East Japan Earthquake have this sound etched into their spines.
I'm from the U.S but have friends in Japan that experienced the Great Earthquake. They are still terrified. It was such a horrible experience for them to go through and such a tragedy for Japan.
I don't even life in Japan, never been there, and it still oddly enough sent chills through me.
this sound is really scary.
from Japan🇯🇵
マジで怖いよこれは
@Oofity Banderas Guys, Why are you talking in my comment reply?
The end of the Japanese TV one is terrifying, the dude on the TV was scared and told everyone to save their lives, yet people say that the Japanese one is the most calm one it's one of the only ones that gave me chills.
It gave me chills too
Well the alarm NOISE is what's calm, but when it's the actual alerts that people are saying, then it isn't calm
The way it cuts off at the end aswell
@@artisticmoon1667 scared me shitless

When I lived in Japan, the warnings were accurate and prompt before you can feel tremors. They definitely take it very seriously.
They have a eew system where they tell u seconds before the earthquake starts that it’s gonna happen. I holiday in Japan once and I know.
@@maxinemayfield4551 so they know when a earthquake will happen?
@@pak3ton Mhm, they send an alert out about a few seconds before the earthquake. Technology in Japan is very advanced.
@@maxinemayfield4551 then is not "before you can feel tremors".
i took it too literal lol
@@pak3ton earthquakes move slowly enough (2.5 to 4 miles per second) that there's a few seconds between when it starts in one location and the most intense parts start in the rest of the effected region.
12:36 I remember this. I don’t live in Ontario but it gave me a warning. A tornado didn’t come though but there was a really really strong storm
I phone emergency alert is something I have heard once, and have feared since then. The TV one for "Michigan thingy whatever" is something I hear, and start panicking for 20 minutes.
5:16 That shift in tone caught me off guard
Huh?
OMG
Did he just die why did it get cut off
@@SE7EN306 I believe it is to start that end tone.
the ending tone is to wake up as many TVs as possible, to save lives
Ya
If you've ever seen one of those Japanese alerts, the newsreaders can be in the middle of the fluffiest news story and laughing their heads off and the second the little chime goes off, they instantly go dead serious like somebody backstage threw a switch. It's impressive.

It's interesting that we all find the Japanese alert to be less terrifying, almost comforting, yet people who experienced the 2011 earthquake find the sound absolutely terrifying
Edit: okay so this comment is still getting replies so I thought it was important to address a few things.
I’m very aware that this is a response to trauma. I know all about PTSD. I was in the deadly Christchurch earthquakes of 2010 and 2011. There are certain sounds today that freak me out.
Secondly, I wanted to apologise to everyone who experienced the Japanese earthquake. I am so sorry. There are no words to provide comfort for the horrors you have experienced.
Lastly, I just want to remind everyone to be kind to one another, because our days are limited, and life can be taken from you in the blink of an eye. Stay safe everyone ❤️
Japanese rough translation:
私たち全員が日本の警報がそれほど恐ろしくなく、ほとんど慰めであると感じるのは興味深いことですが、2011年の地震を経験した人々はその音が絶対に恐ろしいと感じています
編集：わかりました、このコメントはまだ返信を受け取っているので、いくつかのことに対処することが重要だと思いました。
これがトラウマへの反応であることを私はよく知っています。 私はPTSDについてすべて知っています。 私は2010年と2011年のクライストチャーチの致命的な地震に見舞われました。今日、私を驚かせる特定の音があります。
第二に、日本の地震を経験したすべての人に謝罪したいと思います。 本当に申し訳ない。 あなたが経験した恐怖に慰めを与える言葉はありません。
最後に、私たちの日々は限られており、瞬く間にあなたから命を奪うことができるので、私は皆にお互いに親切であることを思い出させたいと思います。 みんな安全に！❤️
Ye, it’s really strange. I’m sorry to anyone that dealed with the Fukushima tsunami of 2011
It’s mainly because it’s frightening by association. If someone played the USA’s EAS to someone who had never heard it, they wouldn’t really find it scary, but because we know it means impending danger, it’s terrifying to US citizens. So for the Japanese, their tone is absolutely terrifying because of association.
@@BrapBrapDorito that’s true, however the first time I heard the USA’s eas it scared me haha. But it’s true with the text alert sound as well. It never used to scare me and now it does
I find it terrifying. Its so calm
Maybe they have ptsd of it
12:20 that’s the warning announcement we still hear in every corner of USA
yup
The unknown area at 9:23 is the North Valley of Sacramento. It is an emergency declaring that usage of the telephone is for emergency use (which means to call Emergency Services) only. It also stated that during whatever emergency was undergoing, You had to be tuned into your home station (the station for your area) for information and news during said emergency.
I wonder how that whole conundrum started
And i wonder what K20FZ (what the originating station supposedly was) is
Do you think it was just the wrong message being sent out, or was there more to it
@@RexyFromJurassicPark Not likely. You rarely see any areas of the world to accidentally send out an EAS. I don’t know the entire story, and I wonder too!
@@lxlgamer4516 i read on wikipedia that they inserted a wrong cartridge but idk how the EAS works
@@RexyFromJurassicPark Oh, OK then. If they inserted a wrong cartridge (because thats how some EAS systems used to / still work) it most likely WAS a false alarm.
The Japanese one scares me, especially because of the fact that his tone gets more serious as he talks
It sounds like he’s seeing it live, out of a window he sees the horror arriving then gets cut off. Scary it is.
He's terrified but trying to hold it together for the sake of his audience. Bless him, that's bravery.
We had to study that clip in my Japanese class and answer questions on it to ensure we understood the vocab.
@@basicallystupid7080 the cutting off actually tells other devices to display the same alarm
More scarier when its cuts off

Wanna know something scary? This alert was for a severe thunderstorm capable of producing a tornado in Tennessee, right? Well, in March 2020, a tornado hit Nashville. Here’s the scary part; _this video was uploaded in 2020, the same year of the tornado._
That’s not scary, it’s just common sense
Let's all be honest with ourselves- no matter what EAS you hear, you are bout to be shitting your pants for what's coming.

if anyone doesn’t know, you shouldn’t wear synthetic/non wool or cotton fabrics near fire or heat because it will literally melt to your skin and pretty much be one with your skin. If you have cotton or wool on, you can easily take it off or put it out
I live and was born in the Philippines. So yes, most of our emergency/amber alerts on phones are probably earthquakes or heavy yellow/orange rainfall, and probably sometimes landslides and floods, maybe tsunamis, whatever appears. I have only experienced heavy yellow/orange rainfall and flood alerts. I am not sure on the others.
This be giving me chills
Strange seeing so many people say that Japan's EAS is calm, when its super terrifying if you've witnessed "past events". Hell, it's terrifying even if you didn't witness it.
I agree
I remember seeing it on tv
And the situation kept getting worse and worse by the moment (mega earthquake, mega tsunami, one of the worst nuclear accident to date...)
I remember being on the side of the sofa and just watching it on the news, I felt pretty conflicted that time
I was in Spain so really couldn't truly graps the true magnitude of it, but I remember the feeling of sheer horror
Yeah imagine waking up at 4 in the morning to hear that at max volume
I'm not even Japanese, nor do I know anyone living in Japan, but that EAS system scares me so much (even more than the American one, honestly). I fell into a rabbit hole of CZcams videos from the 2011 Great East Japan Earthquake and the following tsunami and now associate that beeping with what happened on 3.11. What happened in Tōhoku that day must have left a huge mark on the Japanese if someone my age gets scared watching video footage from a decade after the actual event - I'm sure the EAS is way worse for them.
Agreed ( also are you bisexual?)
@@B0ttle12 my classmate is
That Australian one was terrifying though: "You are in danger and need to act now to survive. It is too late to leave." I cannot begin to imagine that, my word...
“It is too late to leave” those words haunt me, and I’m from Michigan! We only get tornadoes and if we’re unlucky, a small earthquake
I got that but it wasn’t for my area but all of Victoria received it. The alarm on the radio scared the living shit out of me.
I remember when the bushfires in my state came around. We were deep in the city and we heard this warning after the song "AM to PM". It was quite distressing as the bushfire was heading our way.
@@basicallystupid7080 IVE lived in Michigan all my life, I’m 19, and never witnessed a earthquake, or I was too young to remember. And our tornados are nothing compared to the south lol.
the clip that starts at 8:54 is in California because the TV says Sacramento but their TV is tuned to a channel that has Spanish content for the non English speakers
I'm in new Zealand and you did our phone alert thanks you
Japan really cares about ppls anxiety, mental health, and hearing.
Edit: don't even mention about the J-alert, ik it doesn't care about it.
Ikr
Except for the missle alert
Well what do you expect? This country is a hell if you're a wagie. If you have your company, then it's easier but workers in Japan do A lot of overtime and are put under A shit ton of pressure due to having too many things to do and apologising for even getting sick

@JeezChill good point
I was terrified when I watched the japanese one. It was like "yeah, it's hard, there's a tsunami alert" and all very calm, but then the "there's a tsunami, remember the great eastern tsunami"... it made my heart sink. I know how it ended, we all know. I can't imagine how people who lived the tragedy would react watching this again.
I'd love you added mexican alert. We only have one, the seismic one, but some people say it's scary.

It’s amazing how people in the comments are going on about how cute and calm the Japanese alarm is (which, admittedly is pretty calm) but whenever I hear it I get so scared it’s so eerie and I hate because hearing it while things tumble down in your house is terrifying
People just don't know that we are conditioned to associate certain sounds with an anxiety response. The sounds of hospital equipment skeeve me the hell out because I associate it with when my grandma was in the hospital many years ago. There's an alarm that goes off to signal end of shift at this factory near my boyfriend's place and it just reminds me so much of Silent Hill. My aunt in California used to live in LA where there were earthquakes and they were scary for my cousins. They had to stand in a doorway or sit under a table. When there were wildfire warnings, they had to spray the roof of their home with water from the hose and only take very important items such as documents, medications, clothes and that's pretty much it when it came to evacuating.

Once when I was at the outer banks in North Carolina (USA) My little brother woke me up at 1:00 A.M. because it was a alert test
Omg a earthquake just happened and it moved my house the alarm was the Japan one my tv didn’t open up but that was still scary 😦
Bruh with the Japan tv I could increasingly hear the guy getting more and more terrified! Poor guy!
Australian bushfire emergency alert is the longest one.
i wish our eas was this informative as japan on tv, they literally stayed as long as they can to save peoples lives, with ours, they’re just like, “tornado is coming, survive”
edit: why do i watch these videos i feel like i’m torturing myself
It’s like “hey, you might die, good luck”
I agree, but I've got an explanation why tornado sirens and warnings are so abrupt, and that's because that's the absolute nature of tornadoes. They can spawn out of nearly nowhere and in an instant, and can disappear just as fast, so they might assume the viewer has gone ahead and made preparations for the emergency and are not watching anymore. I know the last tornado scare we had the channel still kept playing and relaying information even after the warning, but not all warnings are built the same
They actually are, they display a message on screens while Japanese and Australia do by voice. Nonetheless it's still informative
EAS usually have to be short (or timely) because if something like a tornado is coming, then you can't take 10 minutes talking about the history of tornadoes. You have to tell people to take shelter quick and what to do if there's no shelter/car/etc. The more detailed reports would come after the storm. Of course for stuff like COVID though you could take a while, but it's easier to redirect people to a website anyway.
@@haveagoodday7021 i look back at this comment after a year, and i cringe at myself, yeah, i obviously know that now, i’m a weather nerd and i used to be a weather weenie

日本のアラートについて可愛いというコメントや、アナウンサーが冷静であることを指摘している人が多いが、日本人にとってこのアラートは怖いものである。ある意味、習慣のように地震の時にしか聞かないアラートを危険だと捉えているからだ。サイレンなどは、消防車や救急車でよく耳にするから、地震だけは特別なんだ。
ニュースキャスターは地震について非常に冷静に伝えているが、彼らはものすごい練習をしているはずだよ。TVがパニックになって情報が伝わらず逃げ遅れた人が3.11の時にいたからね。教訓として、厳しく指導されているんだと思う。彼らも冷静ではないし、とても大きな地震に対して日本人は慣れてないからそこは勘違いしないで欲しい。
日本のアラームは本当に怖いです😥
I love how the Philippines Emergency alert casually plays sounds of a great chaos. Random car crash sounds, explosions, sirens
BEEEP. BEEP. BEEP. BEEP. BEEP.
8:54
"During this emergency, all stations will be open to receive news and inform the public in designated areas. This is K20 FZ. We will continue to serve you in northern Sacramento Valley. If you are not in this area, contact your local station for news and information. You are listening to the Northern Sacramento Valley Emergency Alert System Service. Do not use your telephone. Telephone lines must be open for emergency use. The Emergency Alert System has been activated."
Sacramento Valley is located in California, so that's where it's at. Pretty damn rare, honestly.
Of maybe Bolivia
@@Rayo-maybeon.Ive been to bolivia but im from argentina so it was probably in mexico because if it said Sacramento that means in was in the united states California because mexico used to have California so
@@caroreyna6210 probably
Thank you NewYorkgaming
Honestly i feel like Japan understands people’s anxiety and gets that putting a really scary one can scare children and adults and cause caos. Good for them
No, not at all.
Japan's alerts get your attention. For Japanese, especially since it happens daily and due to the association with 2011, the sound is TERRIFYING AS HELL.
*chaos
According to Japanese comments I’ve read, yes and no. While thier intention is to reduce anxiety among children and elders, people still lose thier shit when they hear the sound
I’m Canadian and I’ve seen my fair share of Amber Alerts. They not only show up on TV, they also appear on bus displays in Vancouver. An Amber Alert only shows up if a kid disappears and that’s scary
Im From Los Angeles, CA. We have Earthquakes alerts like before it happens like Japan
I’ve heard it so many times, that when I hear it I just don’t care. I’m like “oh my god is this a missing child sire again?”
Same, they also appear on buses here in Ottawa as well.
Oh scrap
Im the only Italian here apparently
What you should’ve added was, the Mexican eas alarm called ALERTA SÍSMICA!
I find it beautifully comical that most places in the world, like Japan, Saudi Arabia, Australia, among other places are super helpful, meanwhile Canada and the USA kind of just throw you to the wind in a "save yourself" scenario.
Nah, its just usa
Canadas gives off instructions on your tv or phone. The noise just gets your attention. But actual safety protocols and information are given on your phone or tv. It also, given circus will read it off
@@mickeywaffleking8502 ye
Arabia is kinda warning me though
Australia: RUN NOW GET OUT OF YOUR CAR AND RUN HOME THERE IS A BUSH FIRE GO GO!
6:05 THAT’S THEIR TONE?! That’s hardcore! I feel sorry for anyone who has to deal with that one...
When I say hardcore I mean that not in a good way...
Philippines?
@@dwaynegaming9511 yeah
@@jackskellington7526 it's just a test
@@dwaynegaming9511 oh,well that’s still very terrifying to hear...
Im fearless to this man
For the one you call "location unknown", the script, in Spanish, is very similar to that used in mock EANs.
Thus, the location is:
CALIFORNIA
Australia’s bushfire warning gave me chills, not just because of the siren either. A few times the speaker touched on situations where you might not be able to be saved, and it sure seems effective to get people moving, because it’s horrifying for me to listen to. Imagine being trapped inside your house with fire all around you, and having no way to escape. The heat of the flames are lulling you to sleep, and your eyes are dilating until you pass out. From that point forward, you are unconscious and the fire is slowly coming to you with no way for you to survive it.
Edit: I gotta say, ever since I posted this comment a year ago, you all have had some moving things to say about your experiences with the fires. I’m really happy I got the chance to connect so many people. Thank you all for sharing.
Bruh that is SCARY to think about they actually did a good job
Ya I had to evacuate from my house I live just out side tinga nsw and ya it’s scary as fuck
yeah i lived near an area where there was fires and i got an amber alert. I get scared whenever i hear that sound because of that time
This isn’t related to Australia but holy fuck California got it bad. There was a fire called the Thomas fire that devastated so many homes on the mountain. My dad’s family had to evacuate. It makes me melancholic when I think of that fire :(

9:40 this EAS was actually all over Israel, there was a siren all over the state and people were asked to wear their gas masks, because there was a fear of a missile with a chemical warhead launched from Iraq during the Gulf War.

that's frightening
I thought this one was because of the bombs dropping?
20 people died and it was a scud missile
U know scud missile
The missile was from Iraq cause of the israeli-Palestinian attack
3:19 I like how the earthquake warning is informative, and then the reporter is warning everyone that they’re gonna die if they don’t make it on time (the 2011 Japan tsunami)
0:56 I remember being in online class and suddenly this alarm starts playing out of nowhere.
I'm from Canada and I've always found it weird how our mobile alerts sound exactly like the sound we play on Radio and TV, but every other country just uses the same exact EAS tone apparently
i’m american and all the alerts sound kinda the same, the first time i heard a missing child alert, i ran to my mom and cried. ours is actually kinda terrifying to kids.
The US EAS alarm is terrifying as hell when you first hear it. I remember a few years ago I was watching CN when all of a sudden a blaring alarm sounded. It’s not fun.
@@speedy5152 when i was like 6 or 7 i fell asleep on the couch watching tv and the alert went off in the middle of the night and i was just frozen with fear
I remember when I was a kid watching TV in the middle of the night. I was already a scaredy cat (had to have a night-light or tv on to sleep) so when I heard the EAS come on for testing I began crying, lol. Fortunately it doesn't scare me as bad, though I don't really hear it anymore, since any EAS I see first on my phone, and the IPhone alarm isn't scary at all.
Well… I thought it was some technical difficulties
The “unknown location” is in California, United States. I’m thinking more likely Northern California since it’s talking about the Sacramento Valley. It’s in Spanish.
Wow
I like how the smartphone EAS are all the “BAWWWWWWPPPPPPPPPPPPP” sound that’s stolen from the Emergency Broadcast System
