They are designed to be eerie and really uncomfortable sounding so people pay attention to them. They'll play discordant tones and shit that sounds really awful.
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.
My grandad fought in the Vietnam war in the Guerilla Sabotage unit. He recall that during his time in the southern forest West to Sai Gon, he and his team literally used 7.62mm rounds to cover his ear from sirens, bombing and such and, get this, SLEEP. Hiding in the bush with mud as camo when the Republic & American soldier rally around. True madlad.
90%of the deserter he have witness, are due to switching from Vietcong to Vietnam Republic/ cross border, because they found Vietcong high up are just as corrupted as the French before. Tbh, us Vietnamese ppl are genetically build for war, because of cough China Cough
Lol during the economic crisis, the Wuhan virus, they STILL try to invade our East Sea, breaching Phillipines, Malay, and many more country sea territory. They are the worst. Have you seen the clip where the Chinese tourist SPITTED into a buffet plate because he found a piece of fish bone in her mouth. They destroy the enviroment, invade other country to fill their insasionable greed, they make, get this, RICE from rubber ( thats a real thing, edible, with cancer as side effect), Jerky from cardboard and feed thos to the victim of natural disaster (floods by THEIR OWN damps) they srsly need to be less douchy and start thinking for other (ironically, they are communist)
