Yes, it is christmas eve, but nonetheless, my averages appear accurate...It seems that every 10-20 minutes I hear police sirens, and Oscar goes berserk. My proximity to Footscray likely explains the noise, but what of you folks???

I don't think I've ever heard police sirens where I'm living now....though I do hear firetrucks on occasion..maybe once every couple of weeks

I live just inside of a neighborhood that is highly white collar wealthy neighborhood, but it and I are right on the border of a neighborhood that is overrun with drugs (methamphetamine/heroin/all sorts of pills) so I get the fair share of ambulances coming through to pick up those that are old wealthy and having health problems as well as those that are ODing on drugs. I also here police sirens on occasion and get to witness the swat team/drug force come and bust people dealing drugs about two blocks from me.

Quite often, though this has more to do with living in a town that's located close to a highway and with a police HQ that works over multiple towns.
I'd say at least once a day.

its like almost every couple nights there you hear sirens everywhere, probs for no reason other than there's a cluster of apartment buildings in this area. and old folks homes.
Maybe every other night.

I hear more ambulance sirens because I live very close to a trauma center. But im a nosy person because if I do hear police sirens, I quick turn on my police scanner to hear all the action. I turn that puppy on in storms too to hear what crazy things are happening live

I don't know what a peeler or a gavas is....
People have more car accidents when there are storms..be it rain or snow
