Alarms on TV/Movies

This American Express Business Platinum podcast commercial I’ve heard at work two days in a row now has a scoreboard buzzer that sounds exactly like the Simplex 4040 horns at my high school (at the 0:08 mark)…

Both times, I actually screamed and had an anxiety attack, due to PTSD from my traumatic high school fire drills. Fortunately my boss was pretty understanding, compared to my classmates teasing and laughing at me, and the dean of the building section I was in nearly suspending me over it.
