Loud emergency vehicles

While they serve a good purpose and mean well, sometimes you just want some peace and quite. There are at most three scenarios that can explain why a vehicle needs an obnoxious blasting siren:

Someone is in distress: We know the person who’s injured or ailing probably isn’t going anywhere so take your time.

Someone did something bad: They can only run so long. Call the helicopter and burn some of taxpayers moolah on chopper fuel.

Absolute Emergency: Crank those puppies up and wake me up only under this circumstance, but please…a person who fell over on their bike does not require the decibel of sound that wakes me from a coma.
