has anyone ever done a study to find out how ambulance siren volume empirically effects transit times and what would be the minimum effective volume of a siren, or do they just put it at max volume
@notplants
Don't know of any study but interested! Especially about on which factors determine the need of higher volume [expecting: fancy cars having unreasonable levels of sound insulation]
@notplants i don't know the answer to that, but this looks interesting: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0196064495702679
@notplants I suspect they picked a volume just below 'causes physical damage'
