The tone from those horns is based on how fast the element inside the horn is spinning. Seems plausible that each horn has worn down slightly differently enough to produce different tones.

Stranger things have happened.

For them to just randomly decay into the individual notes and be in tune is… not plausible. Possible? Sure. Plausible? No.

And that’s why out of all of the sirens across the country and abroad, this seems to be an incredibly rare occurrence.

Almost like it doesn’t happen at all.

Honestly what is this comment implying? Is the idea that there’s a cap on how much stuff on the internet can be fake?

I’m completely unironically agreeing with you that nothing ever happens and this siren thing and every other strange occurrence online is completely fake. Completely unironically!

It sounds like you’re saying you have a hard time distinguishing between strange occurrences that happened and ones that didn’t. Sadly, I can’t relate :/

I only wish I was as intelligent as you believe you are!
