Emergency Alert Sound Contest

[Kyng]

As most of our UK-based members will be aware, the country tested a new emergency alert system on Sunday. It sounded like this, which was effective, but boring . So, if you were in charge of running the system, what sound might you use, to make it funnier?

Rules are as follows:

• You can either link to a sound clip, or post a description of the sound. However, any sound clips must be 10 seconds or less, and any descriptions must be 20 words or fewer.
  
• You don't have to make the sound clips yourself: they can just be ones you've found online. However, you're not allowed to copy another person's idea (for example: if someone has already entered with "A duck quacking", you can't then enter with "A goose honking", because that's too similar).
  
• You may submit up to three entries, but only one entry per person will count towards the final results.
  
• Only entries posted in this thread will be counted. Entries submitted by any other means (e.g. via PM, via Discord, via a Minecraft server, or via carrier pigeon) will not count.

The contest will close on Sunday, 7th May 2023 at 11:59pm GMT. After this, a poll will be held, and the prizes will be as follows:

• 1st place: 500 Coffee Credits (+ a Green Ribbon, if at least 3 people enter, and the winner is at least 2 votes ahead of the second-placed entry);
  
• 2nd place: 250 Coffee Credits
  
• 3rd place: 100 Coffee Credits
  

Good luck, everybody !

Parasaurolophus sound:

Parasaurolophus sound:

I'm afraid the video can't be counted as part of the entry, because it's 1:05 long, and the maximum for video clips is 10 seconds.

Of course, "a Parasaurolophus sound" is a valid entry - but it might not make much sense to people without an accompanying clip. So, if you could find another clip that's less than 10 seconds, that'd be great .

(The reason why the limit for video clips is so short is because, if everyone submitted a 1-minute clip, then voters would have to spend several minutes listening to all of them before they can vote - and nobody's going to do that just so that they can vote in a poll. I hope you understand )

May I make a suggestion? If there isn't a Parasaurolophus call video online that is any shorter, perhaps JHG could choose a 10 second portion of this video as his entry?

Yes, I would be happy with that .
