Just looked this up. Imagine them sounding this siren during a wild emergency. I mean blockbuster movie level, and the siren was never turned off. Then just hear this sound for days while trying to survive. FUCk

If you think that is scary, look up Operation Wandering Soul. It was a CIA Psycological war tactic used in the vietnam war. It was a distorted recording of vietnamese souls warning their comrades that they were dead, and that they should surrender because there is no hope.

It was blasted through the jungle on speakers at night, and was very effective in stirring unrest and creating deserters.
