Sounds similar to what they used in Britain on “Foyles War”. Glad you got home safely

This sound is chilling to say the least.

Such a jarring noise. Hard to imagine living with it going all on the time, with the real risk of death. But they ignore the noise and live their lives. Surreal.

This article reminds me of when car alarms were everywhere, and so sensitive that if you looked at them funny, they’d go off. They were going nonstop and people ignored them because they couldn’t turn them off and the likelihood was it wasn’t their car.

So glad you’re safe.

Thanks for this; the contrast between your reaction, and the friendly, chatty housecleaner/housekeeper working away next to you, is amazing.
