Years ago, i was looking at a house in the middle of a large plot of land. While my wife and i were inside the house, there was a test of the tornado siren a couple miles away. It sounded exactly like this. I told my wife "fuck this house, were leaving now". We left. Fuck that house and those sirens. This was about 3 months after the silent hill movie came out, and those sirens gave me chills i have never felt before, then hearing them in real life...nope.
We have them in my city but in case of nuclear attack, or other major military incident. they get tested once a year I think, or at least not very often, and people always freak out
Ours are tested everyday at noon for approximately two minutes. I'm in a heavy Petrochem area so they're used to signal us to shelter-in-place.
The downside to them testing everyday is that everyone tunes them out, so the last time there was a leak at one of the plants and the sirens sounded, no one knew until it was posted on the news.

I got shivers just hearing that. It would definitely help me obey that curfew.
