It’s not that old, and it’s for a reason. I study meteorology and the communication of warning information. That siren sound was designed in the 1930s just after WWI to be the sound that would alert the most people at a time, mechanically. The digital voice sound was originally devised in the 1980s for NOAA Weather Radio for automated updates and weather reports, so meteorologists didn’t have to be doing it 24/7 while transmitting. Every once in a great while, a live person will still go on-air with the weather radio. The last time it was done, was on May 20th, 2013 by the Warning Coordination Meteorologist at the National Weather Service office in Norman, OK to warn people of the extreme severe weather headed toward Moore, OK. An hour later, an EF-5 tornado raked through the town, and he is credited to have saved hundreds of lives.

[@eveashy1624]

I learned that the hard way. A few months ago, I was really interested in his video on creepy things. I tried to close my eyes to sleep, but the smile.jpeg kept on coming up in my head. Like as soon as my vision went black, the image appeared. About five minutes later, I went to the bathroom and used my phone's torch so that I could see my way down the stairs, but I was trying to keep from waking my mom, as she is a pretty light sleeper. For ten to fifteen minutes straight, I could hear the sound of the singing androids in my head and it scared the hell out of me. Also, for some reason, I kept on turning my phone's torch function on and off relatively frequently with only a few seconds in between switching and the sudden appearing and then sudden lack of light scared me, and so did my turning on of the nightlight in the bathroom. I knew nothing and no one else was in the house except for myself, my older brother and my mom, but it still scared the hell out of me. So, yeah. As awesome as his videos are, don't watch them at nighttime, regardless of when you go to bed. It'll set in, trust me.
