The sound of sirens

I don't know why sirens don't make the same sound in different cities, but apparently they don't.
When I hear sirens here (I'm not sure if they're police, fire, or ambulance, mostly because they sound so strange) I have to pause a moment and concentrate before I realize what they are.

Last night as I was getting ready for bed, I convinced myself that I could hear the loud wailing of ghosts in this creepy old convent.
Then I realized it was the wailing of sirens from a mile or so away.

Weird.

Are you sure it was sirens? Maybe you just convinced yourself of that, because it was more rational to you than the ghost theory....hmmmmm
