Not immediately related to sirens: did anyone else's weather radio just go off with a VERY weird tone?

Mine didn't do the normal "alternating tone followed by a long beep" alert. More like irregularly spaced long beeps for about 20 seconds. (I am in Hamilton County, for reference.)

Apparently the alert was for a garden-variety thunderstorm warning, but I've never heard anything like that alert tone.

Well, mine went off in that odd tone as well, but my weather radio gets signal from the EAS station in Wilmington.

But, my radio kept looping the tone for 20+ minutes.

Mine does as well (KIH-42).

Does anyone get KZZ-48/49, WXJ46, or other stations that source from Wilmington? I don't know if it was a problem on their end or a problem with specific stations.

Here's a list of stations by state, for reference.

Apparently there is supposed to be a siren in Mount Pisgah in Clermont County. Does anyone know what or where this siren is?

I just found it on Google Maps, it's a roof mounted Werden P-127 on the Pierce Township fire department.

Today, I filmed the 2001-SRNB next to the Wyoming City Administration Building. The test was a lot better than last month's, though there were a few small things, such as there being a few seconds of alert right after the growl, and it sort of "hiccupped" twice at the beginning of attack. At first, I thought it was doing fast wail, but then, I decided that it might have been the activation signal being sent out again.
