Sirens start and stop many times during the video.

Wow, this video is over seven years old!
Sheesh, you'd think that they would've put the video up on YouTube sooner.

Anyway, the sirens are great, so peaceful-sounding, making you feel that real danger has just not yet sprung.

I think the sirens sound a bit creepy and make me feel as if danger is imminent.

Quite true, due to the fact Whelen somehow went with a diminished 5th for their hi-lo. Bb-E-Bb-E-Bb-E and so on. Had they chose a minor 3rd hi-lo like D-F-D-F ala the Federal 3T22 or Thunderbolt 1003, it would sound a bit more cheerful.
