    I've read that there will be a country-wide alarm test tomorrow. Scheduled for a twelve hour range.

    I vastly prefer seeing the Dutch weewoo posts: every first Monday of a month, exact hour (so surely everyone can plan to be at a likely place to hear it at 12:00 of the first Monday of a month), with a known often linked resource for reporting not hearing the alarm. And the fun of fedi posts not revealing much of the location.

    Nothing like that is here.

    I expect twelve hours of Chopin before a first non-test non-celebration weewoo.

    I'm not impressed. It's quieter than traffic, quieter than nightly road cleaning vehicles or nightly bus route announcements. Or daily car alarms, school trips or road construction sounds. Or car-mounted advertising speakers.

    At least it's unlikely to cause hearing injuries.
