Do they still?

I remember when the city was constant alarms going off. Couldn’t go to a mall or an indoor parking lot without the incessant whooping of multiple alarms. But I haven’t noticed it in decades. Did alarms improve, or have I just trained myself to not hear them?

eta I see this was the 1998 Godzilla. Carry on!
