Mephitis mephitis!

Got a citation for that 123? This from the OJP says 120 or 115, depending on the type of truck. That's certainly loud and would be uncomfortable if you were close by. That is unlikely to be a problem 4 blocks away.

I am not the person with the siren problem. I am simply debating you acting like you know what the other person is experiencing. You are not there. Federal law or otherwise, it doesn't mean everyone is complying. As someone who works for the government, I'm definitely aware of things being enforced that should not be, things not being enforced that should, and the government acting in violation of the law. We don't know what is happening here. Specifically, you don't know what is happening. You may know what is supposed to be happening, but without actual data, you're just being obtuse.

Edit: Also, they never specified they're in the U.S. Likely, but not a given.

You are speaking of minimum requirements. Do they have maximums? Do all governments comply with the law all the time? Again, you're trying to draw conclusions without specific evidence for this case. I can't tell if you're being obtuse or are just a troll.

Again, you are making assumptions. Maybe they are as you described, but unless you know them and the fire station in question, you don't know that their fire station isn't louder than is reasonable. In sum, it's unfair to criticize them because you have zero evidence.

While they do have to be loud to do their job, you are making assumptions about its volume. The only one with actual experience with it is saying it's too loud.

I don't think the problem is having one to alert people. The issue is how loud is too loud to serve that purpose? It sounds like it may be too loud.
