Should just be some guy yelling “Shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit”

When a mosquito is close to your ear

When you pause the video and the siren doesn't stop

So long as the siren doesn;t get up and start walking, I'll be ok

If the owl was real, it isn’t any more.

0:06 that owl must be deaf by now Edit: Thanks for the likes! I never have had a comment go over 100 likes, let alone 4k

That end of the world sound

We used to hear these all the time back in school. I always thought it was a tornado siren but thought it was weird we'd have something like that in New Jersey. Never in a million years would i have thought it was from a nuclear power plant

My uncle's cadillac has two little Civil Defense logos on the tuning display on the radio, from the cold war where if you were being bombed you would tune to those lmao

I watched this then got an ad about cooking in the toilet like wtf

"I think it's ironic that for once dad's butt prevented the release of toxic gas" - Bart Simpson

Deaf people: “why is everyone panicking for no reason?”

We hear these all the time on the east coast. My towns fire hall misuses it all the damn time though. It’s mostly used to indicate whenever someone has won at bingo. Wish I was making that up 😒 Edit: ffs, guys, read the damn replies, I corrected myself. Christ.

Is no one gonna talk about the owl at the beginning 😂

imagine if they played the siren and everybody would tune into the radio station and they'd play never gonna give u up by rick astley. Would be the ultimate rick roll

My college was near a chemistry plant thingy and only once the siren went off and I shat myself, sounded just like this

How to survive a nuclear bomb: 1 idea: hide in the basement, if it’s 10 to 20 feet underground you should be good, cover the windows and doors with concrete, bring food and drinks that will last a few weeks, it’s the most faster way 2 idea: if you don’t have food or drinks drive away, if you know someone like your grandparents or any relatives that live far away, drive there and live there, even if you think there house is a dump, it’s a life or death situation, you have a few minutes until the bomb drops so you have to drive up to 70 to 100km an hour 3 idea: do not stare at the bomb, it will cause temporary or permanent damage to your eyes, if you don’t have a car or a motorcycle or any vehicle that can get very far away in minutes from the nuke, then just hide in the basement. If you don’t have concrete or any food or water, your dead 💀 DO NOT HIDE IN A FRIDGE

When Homer forgets to turn on the coolant

Let' be honest when the siren sounds for 5 minutes it's too late anyway.

I got used to these types of sirens because of all the chemical industry in my town and the surrounding area. Every first Wednesday at 12pm they would test the sirens that they use to signify a chemical leak. All the schools in the county even have special lockdowns in place just in case. At first, I would freak out because I ate lunch outside then I would realize its just Wednesday lol

0:09 What i hear when everything is dead quiet

For anyone wondering, that first siren note is around a C (but slightly flat)

Sounds like my wii freezing

Citizens when the siren goes on for 3 minutes and 1 second: “Seems to be going for a while now, right Martha 😅☢️?”

I may or may not have misread the title as “Here’s how the alien siren sounds” and for a moment I thought “wow, they aren’t even trying to keep it a secret anymore”.

I just listened to this like 5 times....is that weird ?

Plot twist: it's not the siren, it's the owl at 0:05 that makes the sound

I grew up in a town that is the home of my country's only nuclear power plant. There the sirens are tested on the first Monday of every month (unless that day is a national holiday, in this case they move the test to the next Monday) at 1 pm. I moved to the capital city about 10 years ago and forgot about these tests. Last year I started to work from home every day due to COVID and it turns out there are tests here too, because there is a chemical plant nearby. The only difference is the tests here are scheduled at 11 am, that gets me every time.

video: exists youtube 2 years later: ah yes it is needed to be in the recommendations

Well, it's been over a week since the sirens went off, and I'm feeling just fine! Typing this with 3 hands yo all.

I live in New Castle Country Delaware, and I can see this thing on the horizon from 20 miles away. It is absolutely massive.

Damn it Homer, we told you no more donuts on the machines

It was actually the owl making that sound

Came for the sirens, stayed for the bright flash, left 😞.

Why so many casualties? "we were tuning the radio"

I thought to myself "let me go see the comments for comedy"

If siren sounds turn to radio 97.3 FM Radio 97.3: "And now lets play Katy Perry old hit Fireworks!"

it is even scarier when living in a world like the fear the walking dead......

When you’re in a room of silence.

Your ears when you're in a quiet room:

At 0:00: A sign reads: "If siren sounds for 3 to 5 minutes, tune to Radio to 97.3 FM". Do people still listen to radio today?

I can genuinely listen this in my daily life. its cool

Heard this once a week in the town I grew up in. We lived within a 15-mile radius of the nearest plant.

One of the most terrifying sounds ever.

Should be "OHHHHH HELLLLLL NOOOOOOO"

We hear something very much like this all the time in most of the Midwest. Tornado sirens.

The drop in pitch gave me goosebumps bro😭😭

When you wake up at 3AM and you see your brother eating all your cheetos:

I live near that and I just heard it

I was watching this in school, and when the teacher spoke the siren went off and for 23 seconds I thought it was how it sounded

Why this kind of sirens gives me chills on my back?

Petition for them to make this “uh this is Garry from the power plant, we’re f***d”

0:26 - wonder where that ambulance was going... o_O

Northern Luzon, Philippines We use them as a alarm clock for the city. We ring them once in 6:00 am(breakfast), 11:30am(lunch), 6:00 pm (go home not dinner). It is really annoying sometimes because our class starts at 7:00 am in the morning.

We have sirens like this in Iowa where I live except it's for tornadoes. I've gotten used to them. They test 'em every Monday at 12:00 PM I think. All I know is that if they're on for more than 1 minute you're in trouble.

That car really scared me, I expected explosion after that screen shake

"The joke is on them. If there is a core meltdown, there won't be any power to sound that siren" Ahhh hahaha

Sounds like my home towns Siren to call the volunteer fire department... It also goes off at 6:00 PM every day

Doing a great job keep it up

I'm from a small town in Nebraska and our tornado sirens are the same tone. I hear that every first Wednesday of the month

Knowing me id just sleep though that shit. God forbid if one streetlight is outside shining on me tho lol

Remind me in twenty years when KZfaq recommends this again lmao.

Thank you New Jersey, very cool!

It's such an eerie sound.

Me for absolutely no reason at 3am: InTeReStInG

Why did this lowkey sound like the bell at my middle school

That signs existence tells me someone hasn't forgotten to set the timer yet... *yet*

My man the owl is just sitting on the sirens like a G

0:08 siren head be like: im just gonna be here and just prank people

ASC T-121's cool

That car at The End Was Like: 'I Dont Care i Continue Driving"💀

did anyone else want to hear the full 3 minutes?

I was wondering lol

siren head just viben

Thank you youtube for this recommendation

When the siren continues for 3-5 minutes 💀

I'm confused on the meaning of the sign... If the siren sounds for 3-5 minutes, then tune the radio...? Or is it: If the siren sounds, tune the radio and listen to it for 3-5 minutes?

0:00 Imagine tuning in to 97.3FM scared as shit and your ass just gets Rick Rolled 💀

my dad works at an oil refinery that has a siren that goes off every Wednesday and it sounds like a legit air raid siren.

I grew up a handful of miles from the Peach Bottom Atomic Power Plant that is in Pennsylvanian. First Wednesday of every month at 1pm the sirens would go off for a min for testing. Eventually you didnt even notice them anymore.

A nuclear meltdown at the power plant happened at my town

Once you hear this sound you're already dead.

when you don’t stop the microwave in time at 2am

For some reason, hearing the start of the siren, I imagined the Fallout 4 theme to kick in

*The siren sounds* *Me playing Fortnite* Dude one more minute I need this win!

Radiation detox sold by LBK Soap Company at Etsy better safe than sorry!

They activated the siren to make the owl leave.

It's all fun and games until you still hear it after pausing 💀

Sirenhead is inspired by this..🙂

This Siren gives me goosebumps as well as terror.

0:06 rare sighting of the Great Eastern Nuclear Owl

In the NJ town I live in, old sirens go off everyday at 7:00 pm to test the fire response system.

yes, this is what I definitely want to hear when i wake up

When Homer knocks his drink over the control panel again

Damn imagine hearing this, looking out of the window, seeing a massive fire and a TV/radio saying to evacuate as far as possible

I live in New Jersey this is the first time I’ve ever heard of the power plant

You hear those sirens at work, you call your loved ones and kiss your butt goodbye.

I have heard that type of siren but never knew what it was but it only lasted for a few seconds

When the dosimeter reads only 3.6 roentgen...

Me listening to This at 3 am on full volume, My Neighbors:
