Howler Siren For Ambulances

No matter how loud the wail of the ambulance siren is, there are still folks who seem immune to that tune as they plod along in the fast lane without giving way to a speeding ambulance. Perhaps that will change with the installation of the low frequency tone siren known as the Howler in ambulances nationwide. At extremely low frequencies, this will enable motorists to feel the Howler-equipped ambulance’s arrival no matter how loud their stereos might be at that point in time. It will take around $400 to equip an ambulance with the Howler, but that’s pretty much loose change compared to the $14,000 to $16,000 average required to repair an ambulance involved in a crash.
