i think sirens are annoying as hell, especially if they are passing right next to me and the sound just pierces my brain cells!
SOUND does get attention, thats why paramedics have it, thats why cops have it and thats why fire trucks have it. Even with those loud sirens, you still get the occastional retard crossing the intersection and smashing into a medic truck. Its a fact we have idiots in the world...but like it was said in this thread, every little bit counts. reflective clothes, loud pipes, defensive riding, they all increase your chances of being seen and heard.
