Fr I was in the 2012 henryville tornado warning and one time it came on when I was watching tv at night like my insomniac child self would

Yeah. I think that's probably the first thing a lot of people in the US check for when they hear it. I know I do

I only had an experience hearing it in person, and i was Absolutley terrified. it happended last year

my old dog runs to the middle bathroom during a storm if the eas alarm goes off (im in the usa

one millionth flash flood of the year and i still get so scared LOL

It’s scary I heard it like 3 years ago. Like seriously . 3:08

I think of a truck backing up with it lmao

Bring the surfing board

@@Mister.madman 😂 it might get launched all the way to USA due to the tsunami 🤣🤣🤣

New Zealand got the aliens 👽🤌

But there's no missing child in your home so it's obnoxious af to play that on people's phones when they tryna sleep

They also use it for severe weather conditions/watches (tornados, severe thunderstorms, floods, etc)

recently a lot of alerts for violent people, prison escapes and shootings...

Same shit for me down in Florida like jit playing that so late makes me wish the kid doesn’t get found

I think it honestly diminishes the alarm to the point where it’s just over looked. We honestly shouldn’t be using an alarm meant for national emergencies on kids missing. Or atleast we should have 2 different ones

I believe it's meant to keep people calm, but it still frightens japanese people

@@hurgusburgus938it kinda frightens me as an Australian because of how melancholic it is for the situation, i’ve never been to japan either

It sounds like a rewarding a game😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂🇯🇵🇯🇵🇯🇵🇯🇵🇯🇵🇯🇵🇯🇵🇯🇵

It sounds like my text tone 💀

I actually have it as my text tone 😅

Are J alerts for tsunamis?

@@GoolyDude The 1st one was for their Earthquakes (Early Earthquake Warning) The 2nd was for Civil Danger/ Terrorist Attacks

@@GoolyDude The official name of J-Alert is the National Instant Alert System, which can be activated for earthquakes, tsunamis, missiles, terrorism, natural disasters (heavy rain, landslides, volcanic eruptions, snow, etc.), and evacuation information. J-Alerts have different alerts for different levels. For example, tsunami alerts are issued at three different levels. For example, tsunami alerts are issued at three different levels: tsunami warning, tsunami warning, and major tsunami warning, each with a different sound. The sound is the same, but the type of announcement is different. The National Protection Siren, which warns of danger to citizens, includes missile attacks, large-scale terrorist attacks, guerrilla attacks, air attacks, etc. The sound is the same here, but the type of announcement is different. I hope this helps!

⁠@@user-Android-guardian-deityHelped me! I assume the J stands for Japanese 😜

@@GoolyDude the j alert was a warning for the missile north korea sent

We having just a normal alarm.

The fake ones irritate me so much. Especially bc of how gullible a lot of people were to them lol

Where I live we have general EAS test every second Saturday at noon. Not so creepy, but when it starts at any other time ...

Like between the freezer and the oven? It's real though, but things rarely get very exciting here. Last time I heard it there might've been a traffic accident involving a hazardous chemical spill. I always wondered if they'd come up with something a bit more urgent sounding for whenever the crazy neighbor decides to jump over the fence.

After reading this comment, I went looking and it indeed looks like this is not the real Finnish equivalent of the US EAS thingie. I'm not sure where this false one started spreading, but it is quoted (without a source) on the Finnish wikipedia article as well. In reality in Finland we have one general alarm, which is a rising and then dropping siren sound. If you search on KZfaq "Yleinen vaaramerkki", the first result has a recorded example of the alarm. Then there's "Danger Notifications", which are played on Radio and TV. It says on the ministry of the interior web page that the TV thing can only ever be used to play national level information. I cannot find recordings online of one. There is no indication that there would be morse-code in it. The radio ones can be on local things, and there are recordings of those. These ones involve a calm voice stating "Soon a danger bulletin will be stated", and then 10-15 seconds of calm music, which on the ministry page it says is there because they need that time to ensure that all necessary stations are broadcasting the right message. There is no specific format for this, and indeed from the recordings it seems that they use whatever music they want. I also found a guide for officials in how to format the danger bulletin thingie, which is a detailed guide on how they should be written, what information to include, and what paperwork should be done for the bureaucracy to keep track of them etc. This guide also has no mention of the morse code thingie shown in this video. So yeah, this version seems to be false based on me looking online at actual official Finnish government information. I wonder where this fake one started.

it's real but was only used once, when a bear bit a jogger

I can confirm, it is actually morse code when played over television. The sound plays at full volume, all other sounds are muted, red background gets added at the top of the screen and white text scrolls. I'm not sure if it's those exact morse beeps but it's morse. Over Radio, it's a male voice speaking calmly with acoustic guitar strings being played in the background, followed by someone reading the emergency broadcast live.

"CQ" is actually the universal signal in Morse code for "all stations," basically a call to all stations tuned into that specific frequency to stop and listen. For example, if someone in distress sent out a "CQD," that'd translate to "everyone shut up and listen, we need immediate assistance." The Finnish alarm does indeed say "CQ," and I'd say it makes sense in this context.

It sounds ghostly

the modern one is much scarier, WAY scarier

It was used for many sirenhead interpretations alongside the broken tornado siren

With what’s going on right now the modern one is way scarier

Sounds like siren head

That is called fight or flight my boy

日本人の私からすると、私はあの音でサイレンヘッド以外思いつきません

@notworthyofmyname いや俺本当に日本人やで なんか翻訳バグってた？

@notworthyofmyname I'm really Japanese, but I don't care if you don't approve. I'm not eager to prove that I'm Japanese. But just to convince you, I'll give you some information that only Japanese people know. Japan is famous for anime, but the number of people who watch anime is actually small (only about 25% of people in my experience watch anime). The most popular sushi is tuna-sushi,second one is salmon-sushi,California roll is hated by japanese. There is a superstition in Japan that blood type determines personality. For example, Type A is serious and considerate, Type O is rough and generous, etc. By the way, Rh+- does not change your personality. Japan has Hokkaido, Tohoku, Kanto, Kansai, Chubu, and Kyushu regions, and there are stereotypes about people living in each region. Hokkaido people are very tolerant of cold and have a crazy sense of distance. Touhoku people are tall, fair-skinned, and rustic. Non-Tokyo Kanto people are envious of Tokyo. Tokyoites are fashionable, elegant, fashion-conscious, but relatively introverted. Kansai people are talkative, funny and diplomatic, but they are vulgar and like to talk down. Kyushu men are very masculine and dynamic. Many women are also dominant, and both sexes have rough personalities. They have strong dialects. Okinawans are cheerful and short. They are dark-skinned and a little clumsy. Every Japanese household has a rice cooker. The dog-eating culture is a Chinese and Korean one, not a Japanese one. Chopsticks vary in length and material in each Asian country. The most famous American in Japan is Perry. He is probably almost unknown in the United States. The most famous Portuguese in Japan is Francisco Xavier. Few of today's young generation worship the emperor. We only know that he was a great man. Japanese people visit Shinto shrines, hold wedding ceremonies in Christian churches, and hold funerals in Buddhist style.

@notworthyofmyname Your translator is trash, I understood what they were saying just fine

The drums you hear in the audio are not part of the alarm.

Hey, good job!! It's good to desensitise yourself to alarms specifically since you'd need to think and follow instructions I suppose. I am super afraid of loud noises in general, especially ones that are meant to be alerting you to danger, so this freaks me out too.

Indeed, I am so tired of seeing people using fake alarms to trick others to think they're real. That's the whole reason of this video's existence.

@@hectorsproductions2018thw worst one was tuvalus fake one, just bloodpop reversed

It's very unsettling. During the West Kelowna and Kelowna fires it started playing in cars and on phones and TVs. All this while the entire mountain was orange underneath the smoke and the night sky was dark red. It felt apocalyptic.

I’m so sorry may he reff so well

We can hear in Greece the NES if sth happens in Kosloduy. Its actually quite scary having such an old nuclear power plant so close to you...

Does Russia often attack Norway?

And there was that time they had an error with the system so it went off every five minutes for two hours

I was in Canada for a bit last year actually and I was terrified when it was the middle of the night and all I heard was the test alarm bro I sobbed

for some reason the phone my dad gave me had the Canada EAS alarm as the notification sound effect and it made me jump out of my skin when it would go off. legit thought there was a fire drill going on in my apartment or something

I heard it at full blast at 2am and didn't sleep until like 6 cuz that shit spooked me and it was an amber alert too ....

@@SykoMuffinI have no memory of this but now my curiosity is peaked

It was actually horrifying for me because they were mainly trying to go to small towns, and apparently they were seen near my own small town. Not in it, just near

The one for Australia's brush fires is super frightening. Someone used that sound with a mock ICBM attack and that scared the hell out of me.

In the first Chilean alert on this vid, the voice is consistently alerting about an incoming tsunami... So yeah... 😨

Same, it wasn't that scary to me. I'm in California, so after getting like 10 EAS notifications from Tropical Storm Hilary (and watching countless EAS scenarios), I'm used to the sound...but I have to admit, its still creepy, though...

I did too! It was a national test, I thought it was a random amber alert cause a little girl had gone missing that day. (Don’t worry, she’s safe and sound)

That day, my entire school was echoing with alerts

i live in niue so idk

bruh it goes off a lot lmfao

Even more eerie is the fact that tvs go bright red with bold letters with the warning. Tho I haven’t seen it happen in ages since no one uses cable anymore lmao
