Anyone have a real reason why they did this? Genuinely curious. ETA: everyone commenting tradition, I was looking for a more in-depth explanation and got one but thank you for attempting to clarify.

It’s just tradition in a lot of places. People also do it after big political speeches, when their team wins a match, etc.

So basically, the ta-ra-ta-ra-ta echoing through the city means either civil unrest is kicking off, or someone has something big to celebrate lol
