I don't know what stuff they are smoking, but they got a bad batch of it. An Amber Alert is through the TV systems...

Oh, that would explain why I didn't know that - I hardly ever watch... I just assumed it was one of the dept. of homeland security's goofy terror severity indicator colors... At any rate, once in a while I hear a ridiculously loud siren for anywhere from 5-15 minutes... neighbors think it's the nearby power plant (Indian Point), I don't have a clue. Any other ATOTers in westchester county, ny?

Amber alert here is when someone is abducted.
You sir, are the moron.
 
Woohoo, sucessfully jacked a worthless thread!

I've never heard of an amber alert being on TV, I thought those screeches were tests of the Emergency Broadcast System.

I totally understand why it is there, but there is no reason for them to boost the volume above the station normal.
 
Hmm seems these Alerts piggyback the Emergency Alert System, but it's more likely to be a scroll on the bottom of the screen.

By chance are there any volunteer fire departments in your area? Sirens like that are often used to alert volunteer firefighters that there's a fire somewhere and they're needed (in addition to the radios/pagers that they may have).

The station is required to send that out at a specific level. It's used to trigger other stations down the chain, not deafen you.

In my area we have a loud siren that goes off whenever there's a fire so the volunteer firefighters know they're supposed to go to the station. They also carry radios though, so I'm not sure why they need the sirens.
