Why are emergency vehicle sirens made to sound off so suddenly, instead of a quickly increasing tone? Wouldn’t that have less of a stress impact on everyone’s health?
Inquirers on Google seem concerned with why they’re so loud, but I’ve recently been finding the abruptness more jarring than the decibels.
