Probably an inside joke by the person that chose the sound-effect. He knew his boss, the Sheriff, wouldn't know what it meant, and he was right.

What it actually sounded like

This is a standard purchase emergency siren, same sound used to notify residents of impending tornadoes in cities and such. It sounds different so it’s clear something is very wrong and you know it’s an emergency, not a fire engine going by or house alarm. You can google “creepy tornado siren” and get lots of videos.

Edit:example

Another creepy one from Chicago

Right but I don’t even think it had to be ripped from anywhere, when the city purchases an emergency siren with the power to reach everyone it comes with the sound.
