New Zealand Civil Defence Warning Sound

NZCD EAS radio warning/alert.

[adjutantreflex]

That is more terrifying than any other EAS I've ever heard.

[chrisdrummond]

This sounds like how my funny bone feels after I hit it

[SuperCrazyDiscoKangaroo]

Who wants to play "Fallout: New Zealand?"

[jiyaraj]

you lot woke me up at freaking 1am in the morning for a freaking phone test

[goopizza]

That's a pretty good attention sound. because of how unique it is, someone would be able to identify it right away.

People: This is the scariest sound ever!
Australian SEWS: Allow me to introduce myself

[SaaMaistaa]

WHY ITS SO FUNNY AND TERRIFYING AT THE SAME TIME

[EllaTheKea]

Even scarier than an amber alert sound

[user_ejgjtvtjt]

Man on radio: Before a disaster hits, you need to be prepared!
Me: Look, I moved here from US.
Radio: civil defense warning plays
Also me: dances to it

[plisehon]

If you think this is an New Zealand warning system, it is incorrect. This is a survival guide

[mridlon]

Sounds like the creepy synthonic music/sounds for some studio production company logo you would here at the end of TV shows in the 80’s.

[YourFoolishPride]

The sound I will always hear watching LoTR from now on.

[dubbynelson]

This awakens something primal within me that I do not like. I wanna scream like an ape.

[Weeaboololislayer]

I, too, enjoy alien abduction sounds

[benei]

This sounds like 4 year old me on my fisher price keyboard

[PichusBlueberryPies]

I love how New Zealand shows a thousand more effort than the US and Canada when it comes to alert tones.

The US and Canada's alert tones are just tones and screeches but this has actual sound effects.

[gpmotorsports]

Good to see New Zealand is still using CONELRAD

[YourFellowRNRSisterFan]

That’s scary! Even worse then USA’s EAS!

[shermanhatch]

THIS IS A TEST OF THE NEW ZELAND CIVIL DEFENSE TONE, IN THE EVENT OF AN EMERGENCY, YOU WOULD HAVE BEEN LISTENING TO YOUR LOCAL TV OR RADIO STATION FOR NEWS AND INSTRUCTIONS THIS TEST MESSAGE IS BROUGHT TO YOU BY NEW ZELAND CIVIL DEFENSE. THIS TEST IS CONCLUDED.
