The new trucks at the services I work for tend to have the Whelen dual siren. I have learned, (after just one shift with an engineer), that if you unscrew the panel (the entire thing with switches, on the center console), and look at the siren control box you can actually change the tones or sirens used. You can make it into the European wail, the french yelp, etc, simply by moving a few switches (and reading the siren's manual online!)
Beware, be aware management may not like you snooping around behind panels, and some supervisors won't be happy to hear you responding down the road this way. It's good, though, for slow sunday fun, though.

Ran a call the other night on one of our new rigs and scared the living daylights outta me but thought it was the coolest thing ever. 2 sirens on it. I busted out the cell phone to record it. I thought hah people still won't pull over or get outta my way. To my amazement, it worked the best I have ever seen

Oh and the airhorn, oh it was amazing at the effectiveness.

Yes the small things make me excited anymore!
