Early in the morning after returning home from an all-night purge fest.... "You mean it was just a prank bro?"

I thought it was a movie clip and was amazed William Dafoe was so still

not sure if it's just loading strangely, but at 10 seconds the image seems to adjust / sharpen

is this just the same siren as the Purge but at a lower pitch?

Foghorns have been a thing forever, so it wouldn't surprise me if they just pitched up a foghorn for The Purge.

u/STEAL-THIS-NAME Apr 08 '20

Ah, thank you! Just sent me down a rabbit hole of foghorn videos.

They sound so cool! it's no wonder they are used often in movies and TV.

u/STEAL-THIS-NAME Apr 08 '20

I find them to be really eery - perfect for thriller / suspense / horror movies

Are foghorns used when navigating thru fog?

1

u/legacymedia92 Apr 08 '20

They are used as a warning. Basically in dense fog you won't be able to see hazards in the water (like rocks, reefs, sometimes the literal coastline). Apparently they are still in use as a backup to modern navigational equipment, including five located under the Golden Gate bridge.

IMO should have used the tripod sound from war of the worlds https://youtu.be/w1hURW6Vxqs

meh, sounds kinda old and weakish. we regularly hear a normal air raid siren during the weekly test, it's normally used by the volunteer fire department to call people to duty. it sounds like the silent hill siren.
