As well funny, from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tupolev_Tu-144#Early_flights https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tupolev_Tu-144#Early_flights :
> ...an alarm siren went off immediately after takeoff, with sound and volume similar to that of a civil defence warning. The crew could not figure a way to switch it off so the siren stayed on throughout the remaining 75 minutes of the flight. Eventually, the captain ordered the navigator to borrow a pillow from the passengers and stuff it inside the siren's horn.
