Nope. Whenever an emergency occurs, first they play the boring low-
pitch square-wave tones. Then they play the high-pitched, terrifying,
psychedelic sine-wave tones I described. These high-frequency,
heterodyne-resembling tones are so mind-altering that they make my
eyes water. Yet I enjoy them. Things that are scary can also be
pleasurable at times. Why do you think they have roller-coasters?

"high-pitched, terrifying heterodynes" could be some types of bluegrass

What do you mean by "bluegrass"?

clearly pick up AM carrier waves as weak as 10^-10,000 watt [i.e. 10-

Fucking imbecile.

you are perhaps referring to the Emergency Alert System (EAS).
after all, a pleasant sounding emergency sound wouldn't be very effective.
it's not really square waves either. look up AFSK (audio frequency shift
keying)

Yes. The EAS. Whenever an emergency occurs, first they play the boring
low-pitch tones.

Then they play the high-pitched, terrifying sine-wave
tones I described.

BTW, I don't feel the first sound they play, to be indicative of any
emergency.

That low-pitched sound simply doesn't provide the
frightening, eye-watering, psychedelic feeling the second high-pitched
sound does. The second sound puts me in a dissociative state.

You say the first sound uses AFSK. What does the second sound use?

Radios dont work in space. It's a VACKYOOM.

think of then as duck farts... it wont seem so boring.

the 8 second 2 tone signal was manditory when the system was first
introduced. it now is optional. most do not use it, however relays from the
NWS sometimes have it.

Ths sound of one hand clapping.

I'm reminded of spaceman. Have you been around long enough to remember

The current sounds remind me of some sort of low-speed
modem, as opposed to the two-toned whine used previously,
which sounded like a mutated dial tone.


That is EXACTLY what it is. An oddball, low baud rate modem. It was
done that way to make it addressable, and to keep it from being tampered
with by hackers or terrorists.

Yes they do. Sound cannot travel through space, however,
electromagnetic representations of audio signals can. The spaceship
has air in it [duh!, otherwise those onboard wouldn't survive] so
loudspeakers attached to the radio and amplifiers should give out some
sound. Right?
