I spent time in a war zone and recall the sounds of mortar/rockets making impact, or the warning sirens (if they worked) wailing up to a distinct burbled scream. I've been on-call with a large tech firm since I returned. The sensation felt in that first moment of processing the leading notes of a sound is indistinguishable between a pager and an incoming round.
