Emergency sirens spoil evensong at colleges
I WANT to complain about the noise of sirens from emergency service vehicles in Oxford. It’s terrible noise to put up with every day.
I get stressed every time I hear one. I put my fingers in my ears or use earplugs. I have stopped going to parks in Oxford because I can’t bear to hear them even in the distance. They spoil evensong at the college chapels.
The old two-tone sirens, which I sometimes hear, don’t upset me so much. I think the sirens we have are not worth the noise nuisance.
