There's a perfectly good site right in front of you, you just have to search!!! I wrote a siren essay too, a few years back and got a good deal of info from here, civildefensemuseum and some other sites I can't remember. That essay helped me better than my final exam lol (which I still did pretty good on).

Here is an article on how weather warnings have evolved from early times that mentions sirens. I actually just used this for a paper and presentation in my English 150 class. The problem may be that the link attached may not work for anyone else, as I got it through my University's database...in that case, I'll also leave the title for those that want to find a copy for themselves on Google Scholar (or to those who have the database)

I scanned this article from the Winter 2003 issue of Invention & Technology magazine. It has been sitting on my old, long-retired hard drive since about that time.

Please don't quote this whole thing... I don't see an option to show links rather than images when uploading to the board.

This article was largely responsible for accelerating my interest in sirens that lead me to join the old board. Enjoy!
