Most people aren't used to the sound of air raid sirens. I am acquainted with them almost daily where I live. I live in the greater metropolitan of one of the largest cities in USA. The city is surrounded for miles by small townships that all merge into each other.
Each township has its own fire department, regardless of how small the township is. Each fire station has air raid sirens directly above it to call in volunteer firefighters.
Like I said, these go off daily, sometimes more than once, for at max 3 sets of 30 second sirens with 3-5 minutes in between.
The closest air raid siren is 0.5 miles from me. The sirens do not give me trouble though I usually get up out of bed to stay in the bathroom if they go off. Sometimes they wake me up, sometimes not. I certainly wouldn't want to have my windows open when they go off though. They usually only go off at night. But more rarely they can go off during the day too.
The apartment I am moving to is 0.3 miles away (as opposed to 0.5). This is using google maps so a straight line from the fire station to my apartment.
Any idea if this will be harmful to me?
