Not even gonna lie these sound like the most innocent emergency alarms but the most unsettling at the same time. The earthquake and missle ones are the most chilling.
and that missile tone brought fame to a grouchy brit that just happened to be in the area of concern with his straight to the point annoyance reaction about getting rude awaken by it video, and to the point apperantly some news agency wanted to interview him.
I heard all of these alarms living 7 years in Japan, and let me tell you.. These alarms are scarier than you think when all the sudden you are woken up to the sound of these chilling alarms
As someone who experienced the 2011 great east japan earthquake, hearing that earthquake alarm makes my heart drop to my stomach so fast and my eyes immediately searches for the nearest exit
I’ve heard every single one . I’m not very affected by it now that they are less common . But sadly I have to move to America because of work between dad and mother . I miss Japan .
Same here. I was just in the Ishikawa earthquake on New Years - came to this video to see if it would help me identify an emergency vehicle I was just hearing outside, heard the earthquake alert tune and damn near had a panic attack lol
Reminder: Some of these tones may sound calm to you, but to many Japanese people, these can terrify them just like what the US EAS tones do to us because they know those sounds mean danger.
I'm a Japanese, and personally, this calm sounds first give me a bit of "resignation and readiness to die" so I can be slightly calm down. Like; Oh!Scared!!! → ....It's might be the end...→...Okay, run away. Panic can be dangerous! It's an exquisitely eerie sound, and I think it's well done.
What do you think of the civil protection siren though? It feels horrible to hear this sound just because North Korea just launched a missile over Japan!
@@jaxothers5000 It sounds very functional. It's a bunch of square waves rising. Square waves have shittons of harmonics, so even on the most awful of speakers you'd be able to hear the tone, and square waves are also very loud at 100% volume. So even though it's not pretty it does what it needs to do.
To try an offer an explanation as to why you're not supposed to play the sounds in public, some EAS systems are built so that they constantly monitor for the EAS warning alarm sound as well, as a contingency (or as the main method in old systems), so that if they hear the alarm sound, they also send an alarm sound. The idea in the old days was that you didn't need any complicated signal system, you just needed to have every broadcast station monitoring another station for an alarm noise. This obviously has some big limitations (like being able to be set off by the noise as a false alarm), but is still kept in some places as a sort of back-up system, in case something goes wrong with the more modern EAS system and other stations don't get the message- they can still pick up the other broadcasts, detect the noise, and broadcast the alarm.
What’s interesting about this approach is it reminds me of the fire/smoke beacon relays used a long time ago. If it ain’t broke… (though maybe now it’s time to fix it) @@finthestoredaeries1917 TL;DR: EAS works *similarly* to the emergency alert relay method in Japan, but only authorized people/equipment can trigger the relay and not anyone with a speaker and a media player. If you’re REALLY interested in how EAS works, keep reading… IIRC EAS does work *similarly* in the US, BUT I don’t think someone playing sounds on their smartphone could trigger an EAS warning. The reason being that American broadcast agencies monitor for EAS signals, but they use their broadcast equipment to listen for the EAS signal. This means that, instead of like in Japan where they monitor for the actual sound of the emergency alert out in public, an American broadcast agency is looking for the sound in the form of radio waves (inaudible to humans), or digital means (1s and 0s), and inside of broadcasting stations. After the broadcast agency receives the EAS alert, it will forward the alert by rebroadcasting it to other stations in the area specified by the EAS alert (those EAS alert sounds include information like alert area, alert type, etc. If you’re old enough to remember the sounds of a dial-up modem, it works kind of like the dial-up handshake). Having said all that… In theory, EAS signals would always come from the US government (or local agencies in the case of local emergencies). In reality, someone with bad intentions, or inexperienced broadcast employees, can insert EAS signals at any American broadcast station with the proper equipment. So while a regular Joe with a smartphone won’t trigger EAS by playing a sound off RUclips in the town square, someone who’s gained access to actual broadcast equipment could set off an EAS alert. It’s for this reason that the FCC forbids media like TV/movies/music/etc. from playing real EAS tones. They don’t want those EAS tones rebroadcasted from that piece of media, then setting off EAS at other stations. They also don’t want real EAS sounds copied and made widely available to anyone with aspirations of causing mass panic. …and that’s more than you ever wanted to know about EAS. It’s very unlikely that you’ll see someone misuse the system. Most false EAS alerts are caused by user error on the broadcaster’s end, not by people with bad intent (check out the EAS Wikipedia article for more on that)
An interesting thing I've heard on another video ("Why This Sound Is Illegal To Play"), is that some channels would get fined in the US for playing the EAS if it was used as part of a show.
@@finthestoredaeries1917 Yes. SAME tones played inadvertently over the airwaves (say, in a teleplay) can trigger the EAS system. This has happened before in the USA.
As calming as many of these seem from an outsider’s perspective, I imagine that could also make them fairly creepy for someone who’s used to it and hears one expecting an incoming disaster
As a Japanese national living here in Tokyo...lemme tell you, the earthquake alarm at around 1:45 mark, gives me constant heartattacks, especially when they happen at around 2-3 am in the morning..it's legit terrifying.
They want people to stay calm and find shelter immediately They don't want people panicking like what you Expected, and it's made as a warning to get out immediately for Everyone to be safely.
2:35 is scary, What if you was sleeping in bed in Japan during the night, In middle of the night the television turn on automatically at max volume waking you up That will be pure nightmare fuel
@@SOSteele1987 I think the signal is meant for your TV/Radio, to both turn it on and switch it to the channel for the info, and you yourself would never actually hear it unless you went out of your way to; I could be wrong
0:30 is actually just the Japanese generic announcment tone that plays over any announcment at airports, schools, train stations, any mall or public building in Japan. Basically just announcement chimes. The ones described here are just for the matter
0:42 Japanese people who have experienced 3.11 really dislike this sound. More than a decade has passed since then, but my heart rate still goes through the roof when I hear this sound.
I was sleeping at 2am when a 5.6 earthquake hit and my phone started screaming. I woke up so confused I didn't realise there was an earthquake after the fact.
I do not know about you, but the NOAA, the NWS, and the USGS agencies that are in the USA honestly need that Earthquake Early Warning system added to the NOAA Weather Radio System. Hawaii and Alaska had some pretty big earthquakes recently.
The thing is that many earthquakes in Japan actually happen at sea, which makes their EEW system effective. Places in the US like California aren’t very lucky though…
ShakeAlert is the official USGS application and MyShake is an independent application developed by UC Berkeley. They exist, but they are mostly implemented by a few state governments, most notably California, Oregon, and Washington, and are all operated through smartphones. Nothing like the systems in Japan or Mexico have ever been attempted to be implemented at the national level, and I doubt we'll see that change any time soon.
The cell phone alert gives me flashbacks to 2011. I remember being awaken by an aftershock and my phone made that noise. Hearing the NHK tsunami alert also gave me flashbacks to after the major earthquake. I was in Tokyo, so no tsunami. But the earthquake was so terrifying.
I arrived in Japan last week and this morning, I woke up to this sound 2:02. I was like "hmm, I don't remember changing my alarm tone" and turned out it was Typhoon Nanmadol lol
As a Japanese I don’t know what the hell people are talking about when they say those alarms are calming. Like bro they are literally traumatic. Every single one of them can give you a PTSD. To me personally they sound so unsettling and “inciting”. You don’t understand until you experience it without any prior notice in the real life.
I once had the Earthquake alert sound as a text tone. Horrible joke and I was an idiot at the time (I mean, I still am, but, well, not THAT much of an idiot). It went off and I was near a Japanese woman. She started panicking. I apologized immensely, and I've never had that sound on my phone again
0:30: This sound, while probably not an EAS signal, was actually used by the school I attended between 3rd and 8th grade to get the attention of everyone to the morning announcements that would be given at the start of the day. But over there the sound was slightly sped up
Powerful anecdote: when I moved to Japan, I was having dinner over at my team leader's house, and as part of him helping me get started with life in Japan, he played me the earthquake alarm sound, so I'd know what it sounds like in the event of one. As soon as he played it, his son promptly, without hesitation got under the table. Yet, at the same time, it was orderly without the slightest bit of panic, as if he's done this a thousand times. It was quite something to see, having just arrived in Japan not long before, how a sound as innocuous as that commanded such strong, ordered behavior from a child.
The area message early warning one is absolutely terrifying. Nothing like your body going into fight or flight response in the middle of deep sleep at 4am. These are a lot scarier in real life because the volume is intensified and you have no idea it’s coming.
ruclips.net/video/SfCUR6N28tc/видео.html Yeah, it completely sounds different to the one in the video. Or basically an 8-bit version, so it sounds like some Car in a gameboy
I live in Japan and a few weeks ago I was suddenly woken up at 6 a.m. by 1:45 even though there was no earthquake in my area (actually there was one in the Noto peninsula, probably an aftershock of that devastating one on New Year’s Day, but the tremors didn’t reach all the way to Osaka where I live). Scared the crap out of me.
Literally happened to me yesterday morning at 4:15am. Staying on the 20th floor and my phone woke me up with the alarm at 1:45. I was so confused and half asleep 😢
These are more on the unnerving/eerie side ignoring the air raid siren, compared to the American flavors, which are literally built to be dissonant and unmistakable as bad even by people unfamiliar with the area. Literally uncomfortable sensation that causes panic. (That's the two tone bit after the beeps that hurts your ears, the beeps transmit information of the warning in-line to stuff like televisions and radio towers.)
@@mrqwerty567it's probably different for every emperor. If it's remotely similar to how the UK has different protocols for each monarch's death, that is. You may not know until the monarch in question passes.
@@mrqwerty567They play the chime twice, overlapping, with the second chime starting about halfway through the first. Basically the sound guy hits the button twice.
@@HikariXD facts it’s to bad when Japanese hear the earthquake early warning they will get trauma from 2011 great east japan earthquake and if you don’t know this scary especially for those who experienced it in east japan and for those who receive the warning that means intensity is 5 or higher will hit in their area so if you hear it hide the table so fast especially when you hear it
@@mrtfanboiplays1006 I know that, that's what I mentioned in the above comment. I've been fascinated with the japanese EAS and have done a lot of research regarding it.
That chime that plays when a severe earthquake hits is so disturbing to me. I just know that it forms a pit in everyone's stomachs because that sound tells them that shit hit the fan.
People say these are calming, but these got me to tear up a little bit. Knowing these alarms could be/have been the last things people heard before dying makes it the opposite of calm Also the civil protection siren.. understandably a lot more obviously unsettling than the others. Something needs to get you on your feet quickly in that situation
you: *sets it as your ringtone* built-in EAS systems that immediately play their respective alarms when it detects such sounds: _It's free real estate._
The type of alerts here in the U.S. are not helpful with our nerves. The amber alert going off on my phone in the middle of the night is the worst. These Japanese alarms are so much more pleasant. Earthquakes excite me.
i won't lie, some of these alarms sound like i've leveled up or discovered a hidden treasure. but man, that civil protection alarm is actually PTSD inducing
They’re playing it smart by having alarms that are actually not scary. More so, they have multiple alarms, but all of which are very memorable. People weren’t kidding when they said they have an advanced warning system!
There is another video of the same creator that includes the same alerts and some more, would be interesting to see another version in english too. Btw, nice work.
I just edited over the original japanese vid. If you check out the original vid in the description, It is exactly how it looks in my vid, except japanese.
Me hearing this in Japan : Awe, cute music People : It's a category 5 thypoon! Me: . _ . Ow welll, I don't have my ruby slippers si i guess I'll be livin in Oz

Literally uncomfortable sensation that causes panic. (That's the two tone bit after the beeps that hurts your ears, the beeps transmit information of the warning in-line to stuff like televisions and radio towers.)
The long string of beeps is the noise that goes through my head when social anxiety or depression kicks in hard.
The Civil Protection Siren is legit horrifying
The Temporary Broadcast Chime is used for all kinds of breaking news, not just earthquakes. There’s even a variation played only when an Emperor dies.
what's that variation?
@@mrqwerty567it's probably different for every emperor. If it's remotely similar to how the UK has different protocols for each monarch's death, that is. You may not know until the monarch in question passes.
@@mrqwerty567They play the chime twice, overlapping, with the second chime starting about halfway through the first. Basically the sound guy hits the button twice.
@@OnlyGraftingno, it’s the same probably. Only one emperor has died where the chime was used and that happened in 1989
Search YT for that one: "NHK broadcasted "Demise of the Showa Emperor Hirohito"."
This Video is actually really good for Kinemaster. Good Job!
2:03 how can they be so calm when a disaster is happening right before their eyes
That's Japan for you. Also, the chime is designed not to induce panic, and people there conduct drills regularly for this kind of stuff
If it played while I was sleeping I’d still be sleeping
it'd be a different story for japanese, since they grow up knowing the sound and associating it with the need to evacuate
@@HikariXD facts it’s to bad when Japanese hear the earthquake early warning they will get trauma from 2011 great east japan earthquake and if you don’t know this scary especially for those who experienced it in east japan and for those who receive the warning that means intensity is 5 or higher will hit in their area so if you hear it hide the table so fast especially when you hear it
@@mrtfanboiplays1006 I know that, that's what I mentioned in the above comment. I've been fascinated with the japanese EAS and have done a lot of research regarding it.
That chime that plays when a severe earthquake hits is so disturbing to me. I just know that it forms a pit in everyone's stomachs because that sound tells them that shit hit the fan.
“A signal that automatically turns on your television and radio” 😮
People say these are calming, but these got me to tear up a little bit. Knowing these alarms could be/have been the last things people heard before dying makes it the opposite of calm
Also the civil protection siren.. understandably a lot more obviously unsettling than the others. Something needs to get you on your feet quickly in that situation
ME TOO OMG
Why does it sound like my mom is gently waking me up to let me know there is an incoming tsunami
monokuma i cant believe you have a mom
I was just in the Ishikawa earthquake on New Years, and let me tell you… all of the earthquake alert sounds now triggers my fight or flight 🥲
These actually gave me goose bumps
I finally found the NHK TBC Alarm, I was gonna make this my ringtone but I guess not 🥴
I recommend you to not use it as a ringtone if you go to Japan
you: *sets it as your ringtone*
built-in EAS systems that immediately play their respective alarms when it detects such sounds: _It's free real estate._
Other alerts: “We don’t mean to alarm you, but something dangerous will happen soon.”
Civil Protection alert: *”WE’RE ALL GOING TO DIE”*
japan is tryna keep everyone calm, and that is good
English people: there is an earthquake
Japanese people: J I S E N D E S
Jesus these are chilling. Can’t imagine hearing them living there
One of my grandkids is just on the edge of the spectrum, not enough for most people to catch. He would LOVE THIS.
As we plan to visit Japan once it opens up I am tying to familiarize myself with emergency services just in case.
1:27 "Oh great, Kim Jong Un is over compensating again."
Japan: let’s make the alarms calming so that people can calm down and go where they need to go!
China: WE ARE ALL GONNA DIE
I don't even live in Japan, but that sound at 0:44 triggers genuine war-like trauma in me. 3/11 was such a horrible day! :'(
The type of alerts here in the U.S. are not helpful with our nerves. The amber alert going off on my phone in the middle of the night is the worst. These Japanese alarms are so much more pleasant. Earthquakes excite me.
The US EAS definitely grabs your attention though
@@jasonmartinez5116Yeah... Especially when it's a local test at 3 in the morning and you left the TV on...
1:14 calm moment
@@Robertx19 i will use this sound for alarm
And then 1:26 hits you
The NHK chime has 3 variants.
1. Earthquake
2. Royal family member death
3. War (no documented footage of this chime being used.)
i won't lie, some of these alarms sound like i've leveled up or discovered a hidden treasure. but man, that civil protection alarm is actually PTSD inducing
1:15 for the moment of silence for people who haven't found this sound yet
moment of silence for people who haven't found this video yet 🤣
@@HikariXD Btw your video deserves millions of views
@@theswissconfederation i wish, unfortunately the mighty algorithm says otherwise
@@HikariXD I made it into the DSMP and Mr blue sky algorithm
@@kasq10ma what?
They’re playing it smart by having alarms that are actually not scary. More so, they have multiple alarms, but all of which are very memorable.
People weren’t kidding when they said they have an advanced warning system!
1:25 gives me shivers each time i hear it and i don't want to live in japan for this reason 🥶
Alarm: *friendly tone*
Voice: "were gonna die"
There is another video of the same creator that includes the same alerts and some more, would be interesting to see another version in english too. Btw, nice work.
pretty good information even when created using kinemaster. Thanks for your work dude!
I just edited over the original japanese vid. If you check out the original vid in the description, It is exactly how it looks in my vid, except japanese.
@@HikariXD still pretty cool
2:34 scariest sound ever
日本人である僕から言わせてもらうと、何億回、何兆回聞いてもアドレナリンが全身から噴水のように出る感覚があります
怖いです
I like the first one sounds like a school intercom when it's about to announce something
1:15
6
2:02 + 2:19
Mozart
2:34
Tsunami
the early earthquake warning is scary af, also the civil protection one
1:14 that sound... It's sooo cuuuteee ¦ 3
2:36 feels like a phone call
Something about the first Earth quake alarm makes me feel off, like a "monster in my closet feel". Yet its not in itself scary
im not Japanese but 0:42 instantly sends a shiver down my spine, i would freak out if i heard that play while in japan
alternative title: Various Emergency Alert Sounds from Japan to study/sleep/chill to
The civil protection siren is SPOOKY
I love how they made the sounds relaxing so people wont panic
Bullshit, people will panic anyway when it's an earthquake.
My soul would leave my body if i heard those "sweet" "relaxing" sounds
the nhk alert sounds like a hospital or mall sound-
Tne fact they're just calmly saying *"your gonna die"* 💀
0:42 In Japan, it is broadcast once or twice a year due to earthquakes.
I'd be scared if my tv or radio turned on automatically I'd be like "Alright where's the ghost" 😨
If there's something strange
imagine sitting in your living room with your bestie and see your tv just TURN ON!?
As a person living in japan, i can confirm that all of them are true
in 2011, i had the earthquake alarm and didn't think much of it. im now 16 paralyzed from the waist down
Me hearing this in Japan : Awe, cute music
People : It's a category 5 thypoon!
Me: . _ .
Ow welll, I don't have my ruby slippers si i guess I'll be livin in Oz
It raised onme some kind of anxiety... and i live in a country that earthquakes, tsunamis or bom attacks are extremely rare
