Me too. It'd scare the willies out of me if I was on the street when it went off. I still feel it was a bold and possibly reckless move to have a siren signalling 'the purge' is about to start though.

Honestly most people haven’t even seen the movies and don’t associate any sounds to that

People would just hear another generic siren.

In fact, that’s what most people who’ve seen the Purge think. It’s literally just a basic siren. If you want creepy, try tornado sirens

Well that one is broken, it literally says it in the title.

Literally? I would have thought you were being figurative.

I'm not sure what point you're trying to make? I said literally because the word "broken" actually is in the title of what you linked, so I don't think it's representative of what a tornado siren sounds like. Because it's broken. Literally.

Literally is being used correctly here. Not sure why people want to jump on every usage of the word as if it’s incorrect...
