NYPD Getting New, More Bone-Rattling Siren
Tired of high-pitched sirens disturbing the quiet peace of the quaint, idyllic burg in which you chose to make your home—New York, NY? Good news. The NYPD is switching from its old screeching siren to a new brand of siren called The Rumbler. It's better because it rumbles!
The Rumbler emits woofer-driven sound waves that pedestrians and distracted drivers can feel. The vibrations are coupled with a low, bass siren that makes a whooping sound.
"It actually reduces noise," a police official told the WSJ. "I SAID IT ACTUALLY-Y-Y-Y. REDUCES-S-S-S-S. NOISE. NOISE, I SAID!"
