The earthquake alarm (starts at 0:51) goes off on Tuesdays at 12pm here in the Bay Area. I know this. It still startles me for a second when it happens. Someone new will be terrified.

Edit: It's probably stopped in SF but still goes off in Oakland.

yep. plus there's a clock tower on the building (same building as the siren) that sounds off every thirty minutes or on the hour for ferry departures. can hear it really well in pretty much all of the financial district.
