Sounds
Public Announcements
At dusk, the city PA system comes on to announce whether or not the area blackout will occur the next day. "This is Tokyo Electric Power Co. to announce tomorrow's electricity supply. Group X, scheduled for X time, will (will not) experience blackout tomorrow." The announcement repeats once. The TV news also makes the announcement.
Cell Phone Alerts
There is an early warning system that alerts areas surrounding the epicenter of an earthquake about to be felt. If you register your cell phone to this alert system, your phone will ring a warning. The ring is unique: the sound is different from those used for normal incoming calls. Up to now, I usually turned off my phone after we both got home. Now, however, I usually take it into the bedroom at night. It has rung a couple of times during the night, waking us up.
Alien sounds in these abnormal times.
