As well as this white noise siren being trialled in the UK by ambulance services a few years ago, it is actually being used by a few regions, and there are still rumors about it getting installed nationwide.
There are many benefits
- you can tell the direction of approach easily
- it is an irritating noise, THAT is why people look
- They have been able to insulate the ambulances more easily from that noise, therefore making a journey with full sirens on far less stressful for the patient as it is barely audible within the ambulance itself.
So what is all this rubbish about a 'new noise'? even if the noise talked about in the article is a slightly different noise to white noise, it is definitely NOT a new idea!!
