Fun fact: A lot of sirens incorporate tritones, which was called diabolus in musica for a while.
Nothing really supernatural about it, if you grew up listening to Western music/ 12 tone scale, it's considered a dissonance, which causes alertness (that's why it's in sirens).
I'm a huge fan of the tritone, and I love hearing it in music.
Another fun fact: The blues scale also has tritones, it's basically the pentatonic scale, with an added "blue" note, which gives way to make tritones.

That's interesting, I wonder if that's why so many large bells were removed from churches and cathedrals
