A fire truck siren is the rare sound effect that an audience reads as plot, not ambience. The moment the wail starts under a scene, the editor has told the viewer something off-screen just went badly wrong — and the longer the siren sits in the mix, the worse it gets. The combination of the high alarm wail and the low diesel rumble underneath is what separates a real fire truck recording from the thin generic siren that game engines ship with.
