Watch part 2 here: th-cam.com/video/blEEcfSM_H0/w-d-xo.htmlsi=Q06t4OGqsbjQK6KY NOTES: 1. When I said "Real ones only" in the title, its meant to say that this are real alarms used (unlike those who makeup fake alarms). This wasnt to be taken as a challenge for people to watch. 2. The "UK/iPhone" Alarm is commonly used on any kind of phone. I wasnt fully specific on that one. 3. I spelled Brazil as "Brasil". English is not my first language, hence its spelled differently.
EAS alarms are scary but interesting, maybe that’s why I like them so much, I get an uneasy feeling most of the time, but maybe that’s why I like it too. I’ve always been interested in the things that people never really touch on or think about, much as horror, natural disasters, tragedies, and weirdly, sometimes I’m interested on the topic of death, just to know what happened.
Can confirm that Ukraine one is real, and the UK one is indeed used on seemingly all phones, android as wellt Though Ukraine one is usually repeated multiple times
I think the scariest part about these isn’t the alarm themselves but the implications that come with them, the threat is so severe that you might not be safe even inside your home
That’s true. Some of these alarms are scary in and of themselves, but a lot of the times, the scariest thing is knowing that when they go off and it’s not a test, something serious and/or threatening is happening.
Fun fact for non Americans. In the majority of the US (which is massive) towns and cities don't have standardized sirens. So during tornados or hurricanes or any other disaster not only do you have our terrifying EAS going off (which is also followed by the most cold and brutalist speech generator telling you exactly what the issue is) your also hearing multiple sirens going off outside and they can all be like any of the ones from this entire list. Some places even have different sirens in THE SAME TOWN making a horrifying chorus of mismatched and broken terror alerting you of impending doom
Yeah, one time I was just chilling at my house when it randomly started heavily raining/hailing and the EAS alarm turned on on full blast on my phone, tv, computer, and my dads phone and laptop and then since there are two tornado sirens right outside my house that sound completely different from each other, they made a horrible clashing noise that sounded like I was being transported to the back rooms it was horrifying
I think this level of incompetence and disorganization is too common for this kind of things. In some Russian cities they perform a kind of a EAS test each year, which is preceded by a few minutes long random woman unintelligible speech, which can not be understood by any human being, she's just giving an entire freaking rant and then the EAS is literally exploding with these WWII sirens' sounds. I swear, no one would even give a fuck if one day she'll say the missiles are coming and an actual World War started.
Hi, US citizen here. The US EAS alarm is terrifying on it's own, but when you're in a relatively calm state with not much EAS alarms, it becomes the literal flight or fight instinct.
Thank you for giving us the two types of Japanese EAS. The other videos only have earthquake alerts, but this one even has J-alerts, which is very impressive as a Japanese person!
@@GoolyDude The official name of J-Alert is the National Instant Alert System, which can be activated for earthquakes, tsunamis, missiles, terrorism, natural disasters (heavy rain, landslides, volcanic eruptions, snow, etc.), and evacuation information. J-Alerts have different alerts for different levels. For example, tsunami alerts are issued at three different levels. For example, tsunami alerts are issued at three different levels: tsunami warning, tsunami warning, and major tsunami warning, each with a different sound. The sound is the same, but the type of announcement is different. The National Protection Siren, which warns of danger to citizens, includes missile attacks, large-scale terrorist attacks, guerrilla attacks, air attacks, etc. The sound is the same here, but the type of announcement is different. I hope this helps!
I think it honestly diminishes the alarm to the point where it’s just over looked. We honestly shouldn’t be using an alarm meant for national emergencies on kids missing. Or atleast we should have 2 different ones

On May 31, 2023, a false alert was issued in Seoul, South Korea. This caused many people to panic. So do I. Every time I hear sirens and disaster messages, I get scared.
The Malaysia alarm has been around since the 1940s, during WW2. It gives sudden PTSD flashbacks to those that lived through the Japanese occupation. Also, the Singapore one you have is actually the Emergency Message Alert. The alarm in an event of an attack is the same as Malaysia's.
The Finland one is highly suspicious. It’s just the Morse code for “seek you” (abbreviated as CQ), a common letter combo used by hams when trying to make radio contact with one another.
Like between the freezer and the oven? It's real though, but things rarely get very exciting here. Last time I heard it there might've been a traffic accident involving a hazardous chemical spill. I always wondered if they'd come up with something a bit more urgent sounding for whenever the crazy neighbor decides to jump over the fence.
After reading this comment, I went looking and it indeed looks like this is not the real Finnish equivalent of the US EAS thingie. I'm not sure where this false one started spreading, but it is quoted (without a source) on the Finnish wikipedia article as well. In reality in Finland we have one general alarm, which is a rising and then dropping siren sound. If you search on TH-cam "Yleinen vaaramerkki", the first result has a recorded example of the alarm. Then there's "Danger Notifications", which are played on Radio and TV. It says on the ministry of the interior web page that the TV thing can only ever be used to play national level information. I cannot find recordings online of one. There is no indication that there would be morse-code in it. The radio ones can be on local things, and there are recordings of those. These ones involve a calm voice stating "Soon a danger bulletin will be stated", and then 10-15 seconds of calm music, which on the ministry page it says is there because they need that time to ensure that all necessary stations are broadcasting the right message. There is no specific format for this, and indeed from the recordings it seems that they use whatever music they want. I also found a guide for officials in how to format the danger bulletin thingie, which is a detailed guide on how they should be written, what information to include, and what paperwork should be done for the bureaucracy to keep track of them etc. This guide also has no mention of the morse code thingie shown in this video. So yeah, this version seems to be false based on me looking online at actual official Finnish government information. I wonder where this fake one started.
I can confirm, it is actually morse code when played over television. The sound plays at full volume, all other sounds are muted, red background gets added at the top of the screen and white text scrolls. I'm not sure if it's those exact morse beeps but it's morse. Over Radio, it's a male voice speaking calmly with acoustic guitar strings being played in the background, followed by someone reading the emergency broadcast live.
"CQ" is actually the universal signal in Morse code for "all stations," basically a call to all stations tuned into that specific frequency to stop and listen. For example, if someone in distress sent out a "CQD," that'd translate to "everyone shut up and listen, we need immediate assistance." The Finnish alarm does indeed say "CQ," and I'd say it makes sense in this context.
The alert sound introduced in Japan's Earthquake Early Warning System is mainly played on TV (NHK) and Disaster prevention speakers installed by the government, and a different sound is played on mobile phones. In addition, there are no specific regulations for J-ALERT on TV, and the alert sound used in the breaking news of each TV station is often used.
thank you for using actual alarms. 90% of EAS alarm videos now are just filled with fake crap people can't be bothered to fact check. some of them just put straight up songs 💀💀💀
I'm mexican. The one from Mexico is the seismic alert from Mexico City. It only plays when there's an earthquake or when the annual drill in commemoration of the victims of the eartquakes of September 19 1985 and 2017 takes place.
it sound wowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowvwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwow
@notworthyofmyname I'm really Japanese, but I don't care if you don't approve. I'm not eager to prove that I'm Japanese. But just to convince you, I'll give you some information that only Japanese people know. Japan is famous for anime, but the number of people who watch anime is actually small (only about 25% of people in my experience watch anime). The most popular sushi is tuna-sushi,second one is salmon-sushi,California roll is hated by japanese. There is a superstition in Japan that blood type determines personality. For example, Type A is serious and considerate, Type O is rough and generous, etc. By the way, Rh+- does not change your personality. Japan has Hokkaido, Tohoku, Kanto, Kansai, Chubu, and Kyushu regions, and there are stereotypes about people living in each region. Hokkaido people are very tolerant of cold and have a crazy sense of distance. Touhoku people are tall, fair-skinned, and rustic. Non-Tokyo Kanto people are envious of Tokyo. Tokyoites are fashionable, elegant, fashion-conscious, but relatively introverted. Kansai people are talkative, funny and diplomatic, but they are vulgar and like to talk down. Kyushu men are very masculine and dynamic. Many women are also dominant, and both sexes have rough personalities. They have strong dialects. Okinawans are cheerful and short. They are dark-skinned and a little clumsy. Every Japanese household has a rice cooker. The dog-eating culture is a Chinese and Korean one, not a Japanese one. Chopsticks vary in length and material in each Asian country. The most famous American in Japan is Perry. He is probably almost unknown in the United States. The most famous Portuguese in Japan is Francisco Xavier. Few of today's young generation worship the emperor. We only know that he was a great man. Japanese people visit Shinto shrines, hold wedding ceremonies in Christian churches, and hold funerals in Buddhist style.
People say that the Japanese earthquake alarm is bad because it isn't scary at all, but it's actually genius. It's designed so that civilians can keep a sound mind and calmly take action, instead of freaking out because there's a terrifying noise blaring.
for anyone wondering about the mexican one, it is primarily used during earthquakes and is honestly almost only heard when theres an earthquake. In fact, its so rarely activated from anything other than an earthquake that the man speaking is actually saying "seismic alert" or "seismic activity"
When i was like 7 years old and my school was like near the centre of amsterdam... 12: 00 1st monday of the month (drill, still goes on) it went of and i remember the whole class going wild
New Zealand (Tsunami) is the scariest for due to experience, my grandad died in this traumatic event, saving me from the water and rubble that he was crushed by R.I.P Grandad I will always miss him.
i used this video to try breaking my fear of loud voices/creepy voices (something like that) and i am heavily shaking right now but i wanna say thanks because that might help me in some other situations with loud voices
Hey, good job!! It's good to desensitise yourself to alarms specifically since you'd need to think and follow instructions I suppose. I am super afraid of loud noises in general, especially ones that are meant to be alerting you to danger, so this freaks me out too.
I’m proud of you, trying to desensitise yourself from things that give you anxiety can be really anxiety inducing but here you are trying to overcome that anxiety and it’s ok to be shaken up because things can be scary. GOOD ON YOU!!!!!
As weird as it may sound, the Netherlands one brings back good memories because one of those towers was right by my house and every 1st Monday of the month they'd test it and it was always while I was heading home from elementary school for lunch break with my grandma
How ironic I find the Mexican one the scariest because I immediately actually correlate it with an Earthquake coming. The rest are "scarier", but I hear that and my brain is already wired to say "Get your emergency backpack and run for the door!"
Pasa lo mismo con los que tienen tiroteos a cada rato y con Japón donde también tiembla a cada rato; todos tenemos tanto miedo como tú cuando suenan esas alarmas (obvio cada habitante de cada país está traumado con su alarma)
It's very unsettling. During the West Kelowna and Kelowna fires it started playing in cars and on phones and TVs. All this while the entire mountain was orange underneath the smoke and the night sky was dark red. It felt apocalyptic.
Thank you for making this! I didn’t realize Saudi Arabia updated theirs to sound more like an air raid siren, but it makes sense given the ambiguity of the 1991 sound. This was very informative!
Lebanon is KIND of right but also wrong because the sound comes from a siren called the Sentry 20V2T But the thing is, it was in Lebanon INDIANA, not the country and I keep seeing people in the comments on the original clip saying stuff like "LeBaNoN eAs AlArM!1111!!"
I’m from the United States, and I’d like to say that our alarm is traumatizing if you’re in a situation where it needed to be played or if it’s midnight. (Jeez i scared myself 💀) Edit: I’m famous
I'm Canadian and that sound will send fear into everyone in 2022 we had 2 guys running around the province stabbing random people and I heard the eas alarm about every 10 - 20 minutes. This happened for like a week
It was actually horrifying for me because they were mainly trying to go to small towns, and apparently they were seen near my own small town. Not in it, just near
@@CloudsAndConstellations y'all should step up The Brazilian special police (BOPE) has the same APCs the army uses and the police has military level equipment and training
For me its like wednesday 1500.. I think the siren is on top of our local school or the townhouse and its like a 5 minute walk away.. on a hill Its so loud lol
Finally one who didn’t include the voice in the Danish alarm. It originates from multiple mocks and as a Dane I know that the alarm doesn’t have a voice + it is not broadcasted on TV. 🇩🇰 It’s only a mobile/siren test that happens annually at the first Wednesday of may. It is very rare that the emergency alert is broadcasted on TV.
Last year i was in USA normally eating lunch, when suddenly the radio played the EAS, It was a tornado alarm in Alabama (we were in missisipi) the tornado was close from where we were, but in the town we were there was only announced that it was gonna rain.. But still, that alarm got stuck in my head at night.. And i was TERRIFIED. (This was before i discovered the world of eas alarms)
So when I moved to the US, nobody warned me that the town I lived in would just casually play their tornado siren randomly. So I would hear it and just have a mini panic attack at like 2am on a Tuesday cuz idk wtf that scary noise is for like a month til somebody finally told me what it was. Good times
The Canadian one is a very scary one to hear especially during night time when you are asleep, it is used during alert tests, amber alerts, imminent threat alerts, and presidential alerts.
for some reason the phone my dad gave me had the Canada EAS alarm as the notification sound effect and it made me jump out of my skin when it would go off. legit thought there was a fire drill going on in my apartment or something
I've lived in Japan and I've heard both of the alarms. Had the TV turn on automatically and play the alarm for a really big earthquake in Tokyo and the J-Siren went off outside when N Korea shot missiles our way in Aomori 💀 Tbh, I prefer the Japan earthquake alarm because it doesn't put me into a panic attack like the USA one lol
Same, it wasn't that scary to me. I'm in California, so after getting like 10 EAS notifications from Tropical Storm Hilary (and watching countless EAS scenarios), I'm used to the sound...but I have to admit, its still creepy, though...
I did too! It was a national test, I thought it was a random amber alert cause a little girl had gone missing that day. (Don’t worry, she’s safe and sound)
I was just thinking that there is no chance you are going to include Bulgaria's EAS alarm, but thank you for reminding me, how much i hate these alarms and how much i hope i never hear them if needed.
its 2 am and me watching stuff like this is probably why i suck at sleeping . but thanks . im in sweden and thankfully ig i didn't hear jt. but Malaysian one is most scary along Australia imo
There should be an EAS that’s just The Only Thing They Fear is you, and it follows you as you run to your basement while the Tornado throws you into another city.
The Israeli one, specifically the one they used during the Gulf War, I think perfectly captures the feeling of your stomach dropping at the thought of impending doom which makes it particularly scary for me.
In The Netherlands we have EAS air raid siren but also EAS NL-ALERT. The air raid siren is tested every month on Monday, and the NL-ALERT is tested every so often. The air raid siren is not very special, but the NL-ALERT is really scary. Everyone who has a mobile phone receives a notification on their phone at the same time and it goes very loudly.
The first one is used for any emergency, not just earthquakes. You’ll hear it on the radio. The tsunami one is changing now. It’s going to be a constant rising tone.
Hi, french person here! France's EAS isn't in this video, but I find it very interesting how most europeans' EAS (my country's included) are basically the same, while also being a little different from one another, and I didn't see anyone point that out in the comments!
i saw a video of it happening in real life and it sounds so much more terrifying. the countdown was slower and it echoed throughout the whole city, the echo really adds to it
Ok so:by playing unnerving sounds…it makes people panic instead of keeping people nice and calm…. And keeping them SANE enough to get to a safe place…. Cus if I heard Chile’s siren noise I’d be panicking like hell.
in Bulgaria there are two types of alarm signals : The national emergency signal and The Air Atack NES is used for major scale flods , fires and Kosloduy NPP meltdown. it is just like the old one, but the old one sounds like a bagpipe as shown in 12:25 Air atack signals are used in case of atacks from foregin countries (ex.:Russia),basicly it's just like air raid sirens
Where I live (Minnesota, USA) our state basically just used the Cold War Air Raid sirens for tornadoes, and just kept using them for that, even through today.
New Zealand's definitely can't get mistaken for a passing siren, also it's awesome that the natural disaster alarms are different so you know immediately what is happening
the first one is the one that broadcasts over the radio and is not exclusive to earthquake alerts, unlike what the video suggests. however, the second one is exclusive to tsunami, though it's not the only type of tsunami siren we use. we also have several other eas sounds used throughout the country. my favourite one is the standard building evacuation siren: BWOOOOOOOOP BWOOOOOOOOP BWOOOOOOOOP "EMAHUAAAHTTDABMMDMMATDNRRRRSSFAYAESSHH" (an accurate written impression)
Even more eerie is the fact that tvs go bright red with bold letters with the warning. Tho I haven’t seen it happen in ages since no one uses cable anymore lmao
The Swedish one, 5:30 , also tells you what kind of alarm it is - there's 4 different kind of alarms, and it is how long/short the horn bursts are that tells you what kind: - Important message to the public (can be used for gas leaks etc; when you hear it, go inside and close ventilation and check public service radio for more information) - Sweden is at war/is in immiment danger of war (go inside, check public service radio for more information, be ready to evacuate) - Incoming air strike (go to the nearest bomb shelter as quickly as possible) - All clear/no danger (cancels the previous alarm)
Netherlands is cool! It gets higher pitched every time it rings! I think it does that at different frequencies to ensure that the sound waves reach further away.
I feel like the U.S. alarm isn’t that creepy or scary (unless in a situation when it is being used for a serious purpose) because game developers and video creators have overused it in their content, so it has become a normal thing to hear if you’re into those type of games and videos
Italy just recently implemented an EAS, we all received text messages on our phones and an alarm went off, it's either similar or the same as UK's! Update: it doesn't work!
ooo that’s awesome! i think all the phone ones are the same though. the us last week just had a country-wide test to make sure the phone alerts are working and it also sounded the same :]
Yeah, the first national test is always the hardest lol. At least yours didn’t accidentally play Lady Gaga’s Paparazzi in the background (yes, this actually happened to a TV station in the US during ours lol)
The one from Australia was unexpected for me. I had never heard it before. 🇦🇺 I can't tell if that's a good thing or not. I suppose it's good because thst means that Australia is pretty safe and the alarm has never had to go off. (not much at least) However, the bad thing about not hearing it means that I wouldn't know what's going on when that alarm goes off. 😂

The amount of flashbacks the US EAS gives me from tornadoes is ridiculous.
Fr I was in the 2012 henryville tornado warning and one time it came on when I was watching tv at night like my insomniac child self would
Yeah. I think that's probably the first thing a lot of people in the US check for when they hear it. I know I do
I only had an experience hearing it in person, and i was Absolutley terrified.
it happended last year

Canadas is used mostly with missing children, it is very eerie to hear at 1 am and you look and there’s a missing child
But there's no missing child in your home so it's obnoxious af to play that on people's phones when they tryna sleep
They also use it for severe weather conditions/watches (tornados, severe thunderstorms, floods, etc)
recently a lot of alerts for violent people, prison escapes and shootings...
Same shit for me down in Florida like jit playing that so late makes me wish the kid doesn’t get found

Where I live we have general EAS test every second Saturday at noon. Not so creepy, but when it starts at any other time ...
It’s more about what the alarm means than the alarm itself
Yes......😮😮😮😮😮😮😮
i agree
Yeah I’m an Aussie and our one kinda makes me shit and piss myself
The alert sound introduced in Japan's Earthquake Early Warning System is mainly played on TV (NHK) and Disaster prevention speakers installed by the government, and a different sound is played on mobile phones. In addition, there are no specific regulations for J-ALERT on TV, and the alert sound used in the breaking news of each TV station is often used.
thank you for using actual alarms. 90% of EAS alarm videos now are just filled with fake crap people can't be bothered to fact check. some of them just put straight up songs 💀💀💀
I'm mexican. The one from Mexico is the seismic alert from Mexico City. It only plays when there's an earthquake or when the annual drill in commemoration of the victims of the eartquakes of September 19 1985 and 2017 takes place.
I’m not from Mexico but I’ve heard of this

@notworthyofmyname いや俺本当に日本人やで
なんか翻訳バグってた？
@notworthyofmyname I'm really Japanese, but I don't care if you don't approve.
I'm not eager to prove that I'm Japanese.
But just to convince you, I'll give you some information that only Japanese people know.
Japan is famous for anime, but the number of people who watch anime is actually small (only about 25% of people in my experience watch anime).
The most popular sushi is tuna-sushi,second one is salmon-sushi,California roll is hated by japanese.
There is a superstition in Japan that blood type determines personality. For example, Type A is serious and considerate, Type O is rough and generous, etc. By the way, Rh+- does not change your personality.
Japan has Hokkaido, Tohoku, Kanto, Kansai, Chubu, and Kyushu regions, and there are stereotypes about people living in each region.
Hokkaido people are very tolerant of cold and have a crazy sense of distance. Touhoku people are tall, fair-skinned, and rustic. Non-Tokyo Kanto people are envious of Tokyo. Tokyoites are fashionable, elegant, fashion-conscious, but relatively introverted. Kansai people are talkative, funny and diplomatic, but they are vulgar and like to talk down.
Kyushu men are very masculine and dynamic. Many women are also dominant, and both sexes have rough personalities. They have strong dialects.
Okinawans are cheerful and short. They are dark-skinned and a little clumsy.
Every Japanese household has a rice cooker. The dog-eating culture is a Chinese and Korean one, not a Japanese one. Chopsticks vary in length and material in each Asian country.
The most famous American in Japan is Perry. He is probably almost unknown in the United States. The most famous Portuguese in Japan is Francisco Xavier.
Few of today's young generation worship the emperor. We only know that he was a great man.
Japanese people visit Shinto shrines, hold wedding ceremonies in Christian churches, and hold funerals in Buddhist style.
@notworthyofmyname Your translator is trash, I understood what they were saying just fine
As an American I can say that even the tests traumatize you, I knew what it was a soon as I heard it.
as a canadian we play our eas alarm every time when a child is kidnapped and it makes me jump every time 💀💀💀

This is just straight up annoying I can’t imagine hearing this me sleeping in the middle of the night at 3 AM 0:43
People say that the Japanese earthquake alarm is bad because it isn't scary at all, but it's actually genius. It's designed so that civilians can keep a sound mind and calmly take action, instead of freaking out because there's a terrifying noise blaring.
for anyone wondering about the mexican one, it is primarily used during earthquakes and is honestly almost only heard when theres an earthquake. In fact, its so rarely activated from anything other than an earthquake that the man speaking is actually saying "seismic alert" or "seismic activity"
Bro really Ukraine fake IT SAYS REAL ONES ONLY

When i was like 7 years old and my school was like near the centre of amsterdam... 12: 00 1st monday of the month (drill, still goes on) it went of and i remember the whole class going wild
I played this to find my wireless earphones when i lost them in bed
Omg thats actually kinda smart
LOL
@@Neptunecold248they could’ve used any other video, but yeah sure, if it works it works
That's... bold.
I love when I did this in class I miss placed my headphones that are wireless and accidentally scared everyone because I did the Israel one
5:50-When as a child I decided to start breathing through my mouth into a glass of drink😂😂😂😂
Since I live in Greece, I'll add mine. It's the tone following the beeps from the US alarm, but without stopping
New Zealand (Tsunami) is the scariest for due to experience, my grandad died in this traumatic event, saving me from the water and rubble that he was crushed by R.I.P Grandad I will always miss him.
I’m so sorry may he reff so well
When did he die
Aw i feel your pane Bro 🙁
Omg I am so sorry this actually made me sad cuz my papaw died like five days ago
I’m very sorry for your loss 😔
i used this video to try breaking my fear of loud voices/creepy voices (something like that) and i am heavily shaking right now but i wanna say thanks because that might help me in some other situations with loud voices
Hey, good job!!
It's good to desensitise yourself to alarms specifically since you'd need to think and follow instructions I suppose.
I am super afraid of loud noises in general, especially ones that are meant to be alerting you to danger, so this freaks me out too.
Omg same
I’m proud of you, trying to desensitise yourself from things that give you anxiety can be really anxiety inducing but here you are trying to overcome that anxiety and it’s ok to be shaken up because things can be scary. GOOD ON YOU!!!!!
Japan’s earthquake alarm sounds like a ringtone 💀
I believe it's meant to keep people calm, but it still frightens japanese people

As weird as it may sound, the Netherlands one brings back good memories because one of those towers was right by my house and every 1st Monday of the month they'd test it and it was always while I was heading home from elementary school for lunch break with my grandma
Argentina is basically a guy honking a horn on his truck
How ironic I find the Mexican one the scariest because I immediately actually correlate it with an Earthquake coming.
The rest are "scarier", but I hear that and my brain is already wired to say "Get your emergency backpack and run for the door!"
same with the american one for me. the noise itself isnt scary, but i associate it with bad things
Pasa lo mismo con los que tienen tiroteos a cada rato y con Japón donde también tiembla a cada rato; todos tenemos tanto miedo como tú cuando suenan esas alarmas (obvio cada habitante de cada país está traumado con su alarma)

With what’s going on right now the modern one is way scarier

It's very unsettling. During the West Kelowna and Kelowna fires it started playing in cars and on phones and TVs. All this while the entire mountain was orange underneath the smoke and the night sky was dark red. It felt apocalyptic.
finally a day without fake eas alarms
Thank you for making this! I didn’t realize Saudi Arabia updated theirs to sound more like an air raid siren, but it makes sense given the ambiguity of the 1991 sound. This was very informative!
what a good thing without fake eas alarms
Indeed, I am so tired of seeing people using fake alarms to trick others to think they're real. That's the whole reason of this video's existence.
@@hectorsproductions2018thw worst one was tuvalus fake one, just bloodpop reversed

Lebanon is KIND of right but also wrong because the sound comes from a siren called the Sentry 20V2T
But the thing is, it was in Lebanon INDIANA, not the country and I keep seeing people in the comments on the original clip saying stuff like "LeBaNoN eAs AlArM!1111!!"
I’m from the United States, and I’d like to say that our alarm is traumatizing if you’re in a situation where it needed to be played or if it’s midnight. (Jeez i scared myself 💀)

I'm Canadian and that sound will send fear into everyone in 2022 we had 2 guys running around the province stabbing random people and I heard the eas alarm about every 10 - 20 minutes. This happened for like a week
It was actually horrifying for me because they were mainly trying to go to small towns, and apparently they were seen near my own small town. Not in it, just near
In the United States that would've lasted ten minutes before the police showed up. In Canada one person with a bullet can control an entire province.

@@CharlesUrban me
I have the privilege that there's an EAS system right outside my house. Every 1st Monday of the month at 1200 sharp I hear 11:25
For me its like wednesday 1500..
I think the siren is on top of our local school or the townhouse and its like a 5 minute walk away.. on a hill
Its so loud lol
Finally one who didn’t include the voice in the Danish alarm. It originates from multiple mocks and as a Dane I know that the alarm doesn’t have a voice + it is not broadcasted on TV. 🇩🇰
It’s only a mobile/siren test that happens annually at the first Wednesday of may.
It is very rare that the emergency alert is broadcasted on TV.
Most of these are spine chilling, nice work on the video, very well made.
Meanwhile Indonesia: *aggressive censor bleep*
@@Goomba1309I'm Indonesian and I can tell that: I didn't hear that.
Last year i was in USA normally eating lunch, when suddenly the radio played the EAS, It was a tornado alarm in Alabama (we were in missisipi) the tornado was close from where we were, but in the town we were there was only announced that it was gonna rain.. But still, that alarm got stuck in my head at night.. And i was TERRIFIED. (This was before i discovered the world of eas alarms)
PD: I will never forget this experience. Lol
So when I moved to the US, nobody warned me that the town I lived in would just casually play their tornado siren randomly. So I would hear it and just have a mini panic attack at like 2am on a Tuesday cuz idk wtf that scary noise is for like a month til somebody finally told me what it was. Good times
Norway sounds like someone continuously honking a diesel freight train horn lol
My exact thought lol
Kinda sounds like it could be a goal horn too
@@beans_RL That's what i thought, also you a Canucks fan
Japan when there's an earthquake: "Excuse me, your attention please?"
New Zealand when there's an earthquake: "WE'RE ALL GONNA DIE!"
I heard the New Zealand tsunami once I was terrified
New Zealand would kill me before the emergency would-
Fr, at that point it's just GG to life
The transition fprm Singapore sounding like an old raygun to Malaysia being terror incarnate was extremely jarring at 11:30
3:54 I think it’s here
The Canadian one is a very scary one to hear especially during night time when you are asleep, it is used during alert tests, amber alerts, imminent threat alerts, and presidential alerts.
And there was that time they had an error with the system so it went off every five minutes for two hours
I was in Canada for a bit last year actually and I was terrified when it was the middle of the night and all I heard was the test alarm bro I sobbed
for some reason the phone my dad gave me had the Canada EAS alarm as the notification sound effect and it made me jump out of my skin when it would go off. legit thought there was a fire drill going on in my apartment or something
I heard it at full blast at 2am and didn't sleep until like 6 cuz that shit spooked me and it was an amber alert too ....
@@SykoMuffinI have no memory of this but now my curiosity is peaked

I've lived in Japan and I've heard both of the alarms. Had the TV turn on automatically and play the alarm for a really big earthquake in Tokyo and the J-Siren went off outside when N Korea shot missiles our way in Aomori 💀

Same, it wasn't that scary to me. I'm in California, so after getting like 10 EAS notifications from Tropical Storm Hilary (and watching countless EAS scenarios), I'm used to the sound...but I have to admit, its still creepy, though...
I did too! It was a national test, I thought it was a random amber alert cause a little girl had gone missing that day. (Don’t worry, she’s safe and sound)
That day, my entire school was echoing with alerts
i live in niue so idk

I was just thinking that there is no chance you are going to include Bulgaria's EAS alarm, but thank you for reminding me, how much i hate these alarms and how much i hope i never hear them if needed.

There should be an EAS that’s just The Only Thing They Fear is you, and it follows you as you run to your basement while the Tornado throws you into another city.
As someone from Canada, the EAS alarm is something you never wanna hear it’s traumatizing 💀
The Israeli one, specifically the one they used during the Gulf War, I think perfectly captures the feeling of your stomach dropping at the thought of impending doom which makes it particularly scary for me.
In The Netherlands we have EAS air raid siren but also EAS NL-ALERT. The air raid siren is tested every month on Monday, and the NL-ALERT is tested every so often. The air raid siren is not very special, but the NL-ALERT is really scary. Everyone who has a mobile phone receives a notification on their phone at the same time and it goes very loudly.
The NL-Alert is tested every 6 months, next one is in June.
I remember the first time I heard the siren in the Netherlands. I was WTF is going on? Well, if I have to die I'll do it right in my bedroom.
In context or out of context, the USA one makes my heart drop
I feel you. I HATE that alarm. Makes me nearly piss myself when I hear it.
China’s EAS alarm is an Earthquake alarm and it counts down from 60
american here. had my headphones on when an amber alert went off like two months ago and tbh i think my head still hurts from that damn sound
Mexico is the sound my cat makes when drinking
I would agree that Chile has a pretty scary one.
The one for Australia's brush fires is super frightening. Someone used that sound with a mock ICBM attack and that scared the hell out of me.
In the first Chilean alert on this vid, the voice is consistently alerting about an incoming tsunami...
So yeah... 😨
As a new zealander i can confirm that this has educated me about our eas sound (ive never actually heard it)
The first one is used for any emergency, not just earthquakes. You’ll hear it on the radio.
The tsunami one is changing now. It’s going to be a constant rising tone.
@@porirvian8457 ok cool thanks (I hope i never hear it)
Hi, french person here! France's EAS isn't in this video, but I find it very interesting how most europeans' EAS (my country's included) are basically the same, while also being a little different from one another, and I didn't see anyone point that out in the comments!
When I heard the guy speak in the Mexico alarm I deadass thought it would turn into a song 💀
6:04 idk why but if i was in china imma piss myself thats scary as hell💀
Fr 💀
i saw a video of it happening in real life and it sounds so much more terrifying. the countdown was slower and it echoed throughout the whole city, the echo really adds to it
All of Israel’s sounds are terrifying
I agree
Why are they so creepy
Well Israel is terrifying too, so I'm not surprised.
Been through this since i was born

Are you the same person posting that same comment on every siren video?
The United Kingdom EAS alert sounds like americas tornado warning phone alert
I'm in therapy after Canada's EAS at 3.AM when you're home alone.
Ok so:by playing unnerving sounds…it makes people panic instead of keeping people nice and calm…. And keeping them SANE enough to get to a safe place….
Cus if I heard Chile’s siren noise I’d be panicking like hell.
in Bulgaria there are two types of alarm signals : The national emergency signal and The Air Atack
NES is used for major scale flods , fires and Kosloduy NPP meltdown. it is just like the old one, but the old one sounds like a bagpipe as shown in 12:25
Air atack signals are used in case of atacks from foregin countries (ex.:Russia),basicly it's just like air raid sirens
We can hear in Greece the NES if sth happens in Kosloduy. Its actually quite scary having such an old nuclear power plant so close to you...
Does Russia often attack Norway?
Where I live (Minnesota, USA) our state basically just used the Cold War Air Raid sirens for tornadoes, and just kept using them for that, even through today.
New Zealand's definitely can't get mistaken for a passing siren, also it's awesome that the natural disaster alarms are different so you know immediately what is happening
the first one is the one that broadcasts over the radio and is not exclusive to earthquake alerts, unlike what the video suggests. however, the second one is exclusive to tsunami, though it's not the only type of tsunami siren we use. we also have several other eas sounds used throughout the country. my favourite one is the standard building evacuation siren: BWOOOOOOOOP BWOOOOOOOOP BWOOOOOOOOP "EMAHUAAAHTTDABMMDMMATDNRRRRSSFAYAESSHH" (an accurate written impression)
I love the Japan earthquake one because it’s like blooming flowers and peaceful jingles
as a usa citizen, i am scarred for life from hearing that from a amber alert in my area at midnight
If the Canada alarm goes of I'm leaving the country
bruh it goes off a lot lmfao
Even more eerie is the fact that tvs go bright red with bold letters with the warning. Tho I haven’t seen it happen in ages since no one uses cable anymore lmao
I accidentally played this very loudly on my laptop at school. Some kid yelled
I would be like FUCK. NO.

New Zealand be like: "We are receiving a transmission from the mothership"

Norway: American train horn
Sweden: European train horn
Fr
I think this must be authentic! Just cool bro 😎
The Swedish one, 5:30 , also tells you what kind of alarm it is - there's 4 different kind of alarms, and it is how long/short the horn bursts are that tells you what kind:
- Important message to the public (can be used for gas leaks etc; when you hear it, go inside and close ventilation and check public service radio for more information)
- Sweden is at war/is in immiment danger of war (go inside, check public service radio for more information, be ready to evacuate)
- Incoming air strike (go to the nearest bomb shelter as quickly as possible)
- All clear/no danger (cancels the previous alarm)

Oh thats really smart
I live in Russia and my heart stopped when I suddenly woke up to the sound of an eas alarm- but it was just checking the speakers on the street

I love how 5:14 Norway sounds like a goal horn you hear at a hockey game.
5:15 wubzzy sounding like a drill after the Norway alarm he listened to
I know that the Malaysian alarm sounds loud but as a Chinese Malaysian person myself, I can confirm it is 10x louder irl
I never thought i would be terrified by the phone one-
Netherlands is cool! It gets higher pitched every time it rings! I think it does that at different frequencies to ensure that the sound waves reach further away.
I feel like the U.S. alarm isn’t that creepy or scary (unless in a situation when it is being used for a serious purpose) because game developers and video creators have overused it in their content, so it has become a normal thing to hear if you’re into those type of games and videos
Eh being as a Canadian i agree this is the real one
Italy just recently implemented an EAS, we all received text messages on our phones and an alarm went off, it's either similar or the same as UK's!
Update: it doesn't work!
ooo that’s awesome! i think all the phone ones are the same though. the us last week just had a country-wide test to make sure the phone alerts are working and it also sounded the same :]

At least yours didn’t accidentally play Lady Gaga’s Paparazzi in the background (yes, this actually happened to a TV station in the US during ours lol)
The one from Australia was unexpected for me. I had never heard it before. 🇦🇺
I can't tell if that's a good thing or not.
I suppose it's good because thst means that Australia is pretty safe and the alarm has never had to go off. (not much at least)
However, the bad thing about not hearing it means that I wouldn't know what's going on when that alarm goes off. 😂
