Find your inner bat

Fascinating. But why do I find it so hard to detect the direction of siren sounding emergency vehicles when I'm driving?

White noise around you? Being shut in a box? Stuff like that should cover it.

I've recently spent time with a friend who is blind. When she stands up after sitting for a while, instead of moving off naturally as a seeing person would, she remains still and quiet for about 10 seconds, feeling and listening to her surrounding, especially when in a place with which she is unaccustomed.

I'm like you MiceElf I can't tell the direction until the vehicle is right up my ..... even with the windows open. Could be the wind? And then I get anxious about trying to pull over

A "New siren call" which could better show where it was coming from was big news on Friday 15 September 1995. New siren call

I wonder what happened to that good idea? People in West Yorkshire must have given ot the thumbs down, or maybe it was going to cost someone some money.
