  Heard a siren a couple of days ago!  :(  Sound around here carries pretty far, I was working out in the yard and the north wind brought me the sound of some type of emergency vehicle. Guess it's time to move farther out!  ;D
 
Which might be fine until you need an ambulance. We hear them on the highway 1/2 mile away but after living on  the main route between the freeway and large hospital we easily tune them out.
 
We hear sirens quite a bit only because we have volunteer fire departments. I can't live too far from Home Depot and Lowe's. When doing a project it usually takes me at least three trips to one or both stores.
 
When we lived in Metro SoCal, we heard sirens 24/7. Sleep (?), no problem.

When we moved to Rural CenCal.. we couldn't sleep ! No sirens.

Now, after 30+ years.. if we hear even One.. hard to get back to sleep.

Whadya guna do ??  ;) ;D
 
When I lived in Detroit I was 2 blocks off Telegraph Rd, Formerly US-24, now M-24 so I heard Semi's bouncing down the road all the time or nearly all the time.

IN addition I lived on the only WIDE non primary (Telegraph is a primary) road.. Wide enough for two cars to pass each other in opposite directions with cars parked on both curbs (most of the city the roads are not that wide) so I was the on the primary FIre/Police/EMS route since people on the multi-lane 24 hear a siren they stop dead completly blocking the road so Fire/Police/EMS take my street.

Could be why the noise when I visit Las Vegas and stay at Main Street's RV lot does not bother me.

Under a freeway (elevated) exit... next to EMS.
