I reckon the siren like thunder : threat, distance, relation. The sound is high-pitched, continuous, and mechanical, and I do not recognize it at first. The siren does not warble; its pitch is constant.

Today in the world of 24-hour news, we cannot help but be aware of the brutality and human cost of war.
