CTsirenhunter, I gather that your girlfriend dislikes sirens...
Actually...exact opposite. Her whole family kind of picked up my siren interest very quickly, which is a relief because my parents can't stand it.
Besides...as previously said, there's no way she can dislike sirens because she has no familiarity with them: her town's 3016 system has been dead for a while now!
I wouldn't turn it up too high, she might leave and turn off the breaker.
Assuming that I correctly understand what you mean here...I have a laptop with horrible speakers. Very non-intimidating when it comes to playing siren recordings. Which I rarely do without headphones anyway.
Seriously though, I really do like the 3016. Not only does it sound great, it's also one of the most menacing-looking Whelens. This is good, because I don't find Whelens that attractive in general.
