	Civil defense siren - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Many air raid sirens have a sound that is distinct from that used by emergency vehicles due to use of two simultaneous tones, usually in a 5:6 frequency ratio (a minor third).
		Sirens are sometimes used to alert the public to releases of hazardous materials, such as chemicals from a derailed train car or a manufacturing plant.
		The motor of the 2001 siren is located in the large cylinder at the center of the siren's megaphone-like projector, with the rotor and stator being located at the rear of the projector.
