Weather alert tones are specific sounds used by emergency services to signal severe weather warnings. These tones are broadcasted through various channels, including radio, television, and weather radios, to grab the attention of the public. They indicate that important information about dangerous weather conditions, such as tornadoes or severe storms, is about to be shared. The tones are designed to be distinct and easily recognizable, ensuring that people can quickly identify the need to pay attention. In the United States, the Emergency Alert System (EAS) and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Weather Radio use these tones to alert communities about impending threats.
