On long, unpopulated roads, the wail sound is used. The quicker wail is used in slow traffic. The very rapid "phone ring" type siren is used in heavy traffic areas.
There are no modern sirens - unless you mean the term - even so Greek sirens were mythological monsters that explained to the people of that time why it was ships and sailors sometimes did not return.
It depends on the vehicle. Different manufacturers have different systems.
What does KMG365 mean on Emergency?
Usually it means Lights & Sirens.
it means there is no accident happening...yet
(in the US) Some cities and towns have installed a system at major intersections that can be activated when an emergency vehicle (fire apparatus - ambulance - police) are on an emergency assignment and approaching that interesection. The flashing strobe is an indication to motorists to be alert for emergency vehicle traffic and be prepared to stop regardless of the indication of the regular traffic lights.
They probably think that the sirens are howls of other coyotes.
A flashing red light on an emergency vehicle means stop. A flashing blue light means that the emergency vehicle is authorized to treat red traffic lights as being yellow, drive on an emergency use only lane on a highway, and disobey the speed limit.
I think it has to do with the mythical sirens who lured sailors to their death with their beauty and their haunting songs causing them to sail into the rocks.
Siren has been modernized to mean "sexy" or what is desirable about the woman.
When this code come out may be haven no enough warm up on the catalyst is efficienecy the vehicle has an exhaust leak
It is probably a reference to a system which (if it is installed) "reads" signals from authorized emergency vehcles (law enforcement, EMS or FD) and automatically changes the intersection traffic lights to favor the direction in which the emergency vehicle is travelling.
