My husband and some of my students are sensitive to sound and recently there have been so many sirens in NYC. Just nonstop. It's not the police or fire ... it's these ambulances, some of them aren't official but they have highway level sirens and use them on residential streets.
Is there some kind of community org that works to stop noise pollution?
Sirens are designed to penetrate the sound insulation of cars on the highway. But we do not live on a highway. It's too loud.

@futurebird yes. i have tinnitus primarily from ambulances. we're a couple of blocks from one of the FDNY EMS stations and it's brutal.

@futurebird the other question is why are they running hot? Emergent responses are rarely indicated because the average time difference is a minute or two, and patient outcomes tend to be the same.

I remember reading something about a certain fire truck siren being illegal because it's too loud but firefighters would replace the legal ones anyway with the louder ones...
Those multi-tonal police ones in NYC (the low but rising frequency 'warning' ones) definitely seem to be designed to torment, like a psyop

OK now you are creeping me out.

@futurebird " (31) Emergency signal device means any gong, siren whistle, or siren or any air horn or any similar device the use of which on authorized emergency vehicles is permitted by subdivision twenty-six of section three hundred seventy-five of the vehicle and traffic law."
From the NYC noise code section
https://codelibrary.amlegal.com/codes/newyorkcity/latest/NYCadmin/0-0-0-44060I unfortunately can't find 26-375 in the code.

Thought we were alone on a major avenue with the uptick in ambulance sirens.
Almost as if there is more need for emergency medical transport of late.
If only EMS Dispatch data were updated more than annually.

@futurebird I know you've probably seen this, but your post made me think of this from Trevor Noah's interview with Mamdani: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=-QLyhIETnXs&t=1900s

@futurebird good luck, I'm very sound sensitive too.
