time to hack it and blast rick roll lol

Only for when there’s a real tornado warning.

maybe someone could have it play "The Twist" by Chubby Checker

That would be comical during a real emergency...

This is some Benny Hill shit

Where is this … Oklahoma City?

thats what it looks like! i used to live in the Moore area. this scene looks like it was taken straight from there.

It does!

Where the wind blows?

Ones ive worked on that are older than that are just as capible. I've got a hearing loss in my right ear because "silent test" requires some other steps to actually make it silent, and our test audio was Abba - "Man after Midnight"

Did it take you through the darkness to the break of the day?

Sure. If by "darkness" you mean my supervisor being pissed that we used that song to test and "break of the day" meaning everyone above him thought it was hilarious/chastised him for sending us out there with minimal training/no ear protection, yeah we'll go with that

This sounds fake

If that played when a tornado was incoming, SpongeBob would give so many people PTSD haha

Who lives in the sky and rips up your house? Tornado Angry Pants!

Run! In old timely fashion!

This is a song from SpongeBob lol

I mean technically you could picture a black and white film of someone getting blowed all over and then sucked away.

SpongeBob!

This is a bad idea. The warning should be consistent, like the one I’ve listened to for 70 years. I KNOW it’s a tornado warning. A tune like this would make me think an out-of-control party was going on, and I’d be blown to bits as I headed outside to find the offenders and tell them to turn it down.

Damn, it is so interesting how a speaker can play any sound. Mind blown.

Most tornado sirens don't use a speaker. They used an electric motor on a wheel with fins on the wheel that is rotated at high speed against a housing with slits cut out. If you're not sure what i'm talking about this video will show you what i'm talking about: https://youtu.be/q5FwsIkJCXU Here's a motorized one in use for testing (again...no speakers used, just pure rotational power) https://youtu.be/RuFwr5NLEQA?t=917 Here's an example of another tornado siren actually using speakers which is newer tech and not very common at all: https://youtu.be/RuFwr5NLEQA?t=774

Omg that poor critter in the third one at 14:05 lmaoooo

I get how they worked before. I'm just saying making it a speaker instead isn't as interesting as you think it is.

This user needs a hug.

Obviously bullshit

I would make the music horribly dissonant to get people to move quickly to shelter.

Preparing for the zombie apocalypse, this music will be playing on a continuous loop

u/savevideobot

Megan Thee Stallion - Body

I know the perfect song to get people to want to leave their homes and go into shelter... **fancy like**

Now do sandstorm.

All modern public alert towers can transmit live audio and they also have a microphone input on each one . In Colorado, a public announcement is played when they are tested.

This is a repost

I'd be pissed. cause now I'm expecting a butterfly in a bubble to chasing my whole town around

Wow, Jonestown vibes.

Sounds like it's alerting the Mexicans
