A police siren that can't be ignored.
Police in Oklahoma are excited over a new piece of equipment called the "Rumbler." It is a very loud siren - so noisy that drivers will be
able to feel their seats vibrate from the sound.

The low tone is also surprising many drivers -making them look up and pull over.

"It's a deeper tone than the normal," says driver Abby Ross.

And you don't just hear the Rumbler, you feel it.

Drivers can feel the Rumbler 50 to 70 yards away from the officer.

"I like it. I used it this morning and yesterday and in one or 2 cases it was obvious the Rumbler brought the attention to the driver," Goad adds.

The Rumber gets so much attention, it can make you wonder if it poses a health risk?

"I stopped an older lady this morning and I didn't see any different reaction from her from the Rumbler than my regular siren," Goad said.

Doctors say they don't know enough about the Rumbler to make a comment, but police say, it's like any high tech sound system - the woofer and
amplifier making you feel a slight tremor in your body

wtf is this? I'm sorry, I don't want some cop sending loud waves shaking my car seat. It'll scare the cloned meat outta me.

    Should be a big hit with the female clientele ;)
    My Girlfriend said to me..."How many guitars do you need?" and I replied...."How many pairs of shoes do you need?" She got really quiet.

    Would also explain hesitation to pull over as well ....
    Progress is not made by everyone joining some new fad,
    and reveling in it's loyalty. It's made by forming coalitions
    over specific principles, goals, and policies.
