@erlin33 no clue, I think it only went off once. Hate when that happens. kind of freaks me out

I know! None of our phones alarms went off, so that calmed me down a bit.

I used to hear them all the time, I thought it was to let the company know the day was over ‍♀️

Answer 4

Rosemont every Monday @6pm sounds there sirens as a public safety. Been doing it for years. Some days more noticable. You will hear the audible every time. If you dont then you could look a little deeper

Every day? I don’t think I’ve heard it but once before

Lol maybe it was just Monday’s but weeks go by so quickly that I remember it being every day ahahha

@erlin33 only Mondays @6pm in Rosemont. Some days you hear it more loudly.

Where have I been every Monday for the last 4 years?  

---

And how come for me every Monday felt like every day ahahah

---

@ouabain86 it's done by the police department it's a safety test

Answer 6

I did as well. For those that have heard it before at this time, I am surprised that Des Plaines/Rosemont would do that as I thought every municipality only did it at 10 a. m. on the first Tuesday of the month?
