In case you missed it this morning, Tualatin Valley F&R posted this video to their YouTube account, complete with radio tones and dispatch traffic.

On a side note, I've heard them use those tones before during a fire scene safety/emergency announcement, but I can never understand what they're called.

An example:

Sounds like "horrible" tones...what's he saying?

They call them Worble tones. On the fire side they are used for mayday or emergency traffic. For police, they sound when a call with a weapon is dispatched and gives an automatic Signal 2.

Or I guess it's warble.

Ah, thanks.

Or I guess it's warble.

Or it could be wobble in Boston talk.
