So, recently (Around 13:50 CT or so) I was walking to my backdoor at my house. As I was looking for my key, I heard a very very faint Air raid siren. I have no way to explain this, and it was very faint, like it was in the distance, and I felt like I was the only one who could hear it when it happened. It maybe lasted three or four seconds, and then it was silent. Could anybody help me figure this out? [For context, this was heard in a town very near to the East of St. Louis]. Thank you to everybody who is willing to help out.

Perhaps some sort of audio pareidolia or hallucination.
Or remnants from the past?
Either way I don't think this will be a very significant event in your life not long from now.
A lot of towns, my own included, had these installed in the 50s (Cuban missile crisis and shizz). My town still tests them occasionally or uses them for weather alerts. If it was faint and only gets tested rarely you may have just never noticed before.

Idk, could be I guess. What do you mean by remnants from the past though?

Eeh, is this considered very weird? I have had the exact same thing for a couple of years now.. But its no more than 3 times a week, thought it was just my eardrums acting weird or something.

I live in a very shitty, thin-walled flat, so you can hear almost everything. I once heard my neighbor's ringtone and then him picking the phone up and talking on it. Nothing unusual, right?. The thing is that the ringtone stayed in my head while he was talking and for long after he was done talking, too. When I paid attention to it - it ringed. When I didn't - it didn't ring. It was very realistic though, sounded nothing like a sound that I could just imagine. It was very fucking bizarre and happened only once in my lifetime. I tried paying attention to it the next day, but it didn't ever work again.

Do you live near a fire station by any chance? In my town these are mounted on the police and fire stations and they go off everytime there is an emergency, to alert the volunteer firefighters I'd imagine.
