A friend told me she can't stand sirens in songs at all, and that she heard a lot of people can't. What do you think? I'm putting this in this forum but it also concerns Hardcore.
I don't mind them to be honest... sometimes I even like them. I'm now wondering if the majority of people really can't stand them!

I love them, I feel like they add some energy track, as long as they aren't overused. I've been guilty of adding a siren to a few of my tracks as well. :P

I agree, I also think they add some dramatic effect to the song :) And if used right, it can give a "End-of-the-world"-Feeling :P
Edit: Blackout 2008 (DeeJayBee & Diverse Mix) - Organ Donors also have sirens, but couldn't find it on Youtube except in the DJ Cotts EFX-1000 Mix, but you can also hear it on Trackitdown, Imodownload etc if you search on Google.
About the OP, I got no clue what you are talking about. I found those songs offensive and bordering on ear r@pe so only skipped through but could not hear anything that sounded like a siren to me. If I were to describe a siren in edm it would be this:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GqIHVJX8HRU&t=150s with the siren thing starting at about 2:47. In this regard, it pissed me off initially and I still think it is the weak point of that brilliant incredible tune and why I will generally prefer the noom mix.

Yeah I know what it is, but you also say "Police siren" or do you say something else?
Err no that's not that at all haha. First song I posted at 1:22, second track at 1:06.
Edit: I don't really like this "police-style" sirene like in the second track by the way, I prefer it like in the first song, this "alarm-style" sirene :)

no, but I like song of the siren
Ha! - Agreed, great song that, and some of the dane/trance remixes are pretty damn good to imo - I think the vocal is so strong it just can't be ruined in any remix!
Do you like sirens in songs?
