I thought that it was interesting that whoever activated the siren didn't put the siren in 'Attack' (wavering mode). Maybe they pushed the 'alert' button, waited for a few seconds and then pressed the cancel button.

imo I think the siren either had its agastat timing deliberately lowered or the station just wired it so that the blower and rotator would immediately stop upon the chopper being unpowered. Likely to make the sound distinct. I could be wrong though...
